There will be ghostly goings on at EK, East Kilbride this October, as a host of free spooktacular attractions keep young visitors entertained over the school break.

The Little Shop of Halloween Horrors in Centre West will welcome brave young Halloween adventurers every weekend in October, with a gang of spooky characters, including scary skeletons, wacky witches, blood sucking bats, a petrifying pumpkin monster, and other spine tingling ghouls, all dying to say hello.

As All Hallow’s Eve draws closer, there will be an opportunity to get Halloween ready with a series of weird and wonderful workshops in Centre West. From Monday 14th to Friday 18th, youngsters can show of their creative skills as they try their hand at making despicable decorations, terrifying trick-or-treat bags and grisly glass lanterns at the event area in Centre West.

For those looking for an extra thrill, our friends at Zoolab will be back on Tuesday 15th October with a special Creepy Critters show. Learn about fangs, claws, slime and webs as you get up close to slippery snakes, terrifying tarantulas, scary scorpions and more.

The door to the Little Shop of Halloween Horrors will creak open on Saturday, 5th October, welcoming brave youngsters from 11am to 3pm every weekend throughout October and during the school holiday week from 14th to 18th October. Entry is free for those who dare cross the threshold.
