A garden centre is hosting a 'frightfully fun' Halloween party.

Dobbies Garden Centres is inviting children to its Little Scare-lings Howl-o-ween party at the Shepton Mallet store this October.

The event is aimed at families with children aged three to 10, but under threes can join in with parental supervision.

Children can enjoy themed food, including 'scary scones' and 'coffin sandwiches', before taking part in activities such as a gourd decorating challenge and games with Dobbies' 'monster'.

Meanwhile, adults can relax with a hot drink and a choice of cakes.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies' events programme manager, said: "Our Little Scare-lings event is a great opportunity for families to get together and celebrate Halloween.

"Little Scare-lings takes inspiration from our Little Seedlings programme and has been very popular with families at our Shepton Mallet store in previous years, so we’re encouraging customers to book in advance to save any disappointment."

The Little Scare-lings event takes place on various dates in October and costs £10.99 per child and £7.50 per adult.

The Howl-o-ween party is just one of Dobbies' autumnal events.

The garden centre is also hosting a Planting and Afternoon Tea: Autumn Edition, where attendees can create their own pumpkin succulent planter to take home.

This event takes place on Tuesday, October 8 and Saturday, October 12, and is priced at £45 per person.
