Zoe's Place Boo Bash | Trunk or Treat

Zoe's Place Baby Hospice is bringing back the Boo Bash on Friday 30 October, their take on the American 'Trunk or Treat' tradition. It's the third year running for the event, which runs from 4pm to 7pm in the hospice car park on Easter Way, CV7 9JG.

The format is straightforward: instead of trick-or-treating around the local streets, children move from car boot to car boot in a single, safe environment. Each boot is decorated as a spooky display, and treats are handed out at each stop along the way. It's a bit like the traditional neighbourhood round, just gathered in one spot rather than spread across a few streets.

Zoe's Place describes it as a safe, accessible and inclusive alternative to the usual Halloween round, open to all local children. Because it's all in one place, it's a good shout if you're not keen on the idea of walking the kids around the neighbourhood in the dark, or if you're looking for something a bit more contained. The hospice runs the whole thing, so it's a community affair rather than a commercial one.

It's on Friday 30 October, from 4pm to 7pm, at the Zoe's Place Baby Hospice car park on Easter Way, Coventry, CV7 9JG.
