On 31 October, from 3pm to 5pm, a whole host of spooky fun awaits shoppers at the Centre’s annual Trick or Treat event.

Head to the Centre’s information room where youngsters can collect their map, along with their first treat and a bag for all their goodies. Then make your way around using the creepy map that shows which shops and businesses will be handing out free trick or treat goodies.

There will be a variety of free haunted fun to take part in including balloon modelling, a fairground ride and climbing spider mountain. For those not scared of creepy crawlies, Fenland Exotics will be on hand with their creepy creatures in the front window of Argos!

Under 15s, accompanied by an adult, that arrive in haunted Halloween fancy dress can enter a free best costume competition that will be judged by the Mayor of Wisbech outside the Co-op at 4pm.

Centre Manager of the Horsefair, Kevin Smith, commented: “Our Halloween event is always very popular and we’re all really excited about this year’s. We want to offer youngsters a safe environment to Trick or Treat in, instead of them going out at night. It’s great to see everyone brought together and the children’s Halloween costumes are always scary to see!”

At the event, visitors can also get up close and personal with some witches’ owls and can have their portrait taken against Kodak’s “Wall of Blood” with prints available for just 99p. The Wisbech Lions Club will also be hand with a special stall full of Halloween treats for children.

The fun need not stop at the Horsefair! Straight after the Trick or Treat event at the Horsefair, shoppers can browse the stalls of the Wisbech Moon Market which will take place from 5pm to 8pm on the market place. They can also make their way to the Wisbech Institute, opposite the Horsefair car park, afterwards to carry on screaming at the Children’s Halloween Disco. Tickets for the disco are available from the Cat’s Pyjamas Emporium on Union Street.

Children in Halloween fancy dress can win a prize at the Horsefair’s Trick or Treat event.
