YOUR favourite little horrors are invited to garden centres in Hare Hatch and Spencers Wood in time for Hallowe’en.

Dobbies is holding a pumpkin-themed event in its stores from Thursday, October 26 through to Sunday, October 29.

The Little Scare-lings is for children aged between three and 10, and includes a fancy dress contest, Hallowe’en-themed games and activities and some treats.

The garden centres will also have a pumpkin patch, so children can choose one to take home and carve using some specially created designs.

Sarah Murray has devised the event for Dobbies.

“We warmly welcome children of all ages to get involved with our pumpkin extravaganza,” she said.

Places cost £9.99 for children and £3.95 per adult, and tickets have just gone on sale.
