Some spook-tacular fun is just around the corner this Halloween, at Broad Street Mall, Reading.
Little ones will have the chance to dress up as witches and wizards, before being taken off on a trick-tacular trail to find weird and wonderful potion ingredients, and then make their very own cauldron concoction!
The event is FREE and first come, first served – sessions will start every hour on the hour!
