Free Halloween Big Trick or Treat at Midsummer Place with a pumpkin trail, treats from participating retailers and a giant selfie coffin.
Midsummer Place is bringing back its Big Trick or Treat this Halloween, on Saturday 31 October, from 11am to 3pm. It's a free event for families, so if you've got little ones and are looking for something to do on the day, this is a straightforward one to slot in.
The main thing is a pumpkin trail that runs through the shopping centre. The kids follow it around, collecting treats from participating retailers along the way — names like Toni & Guy, Sports Direct, Suit Direct and LEGO are on the list — while real carved pumpkins hide in shop windows for them to spot. It's a proper treat-hunt, so it's worth bringing along a pumpkin bucket for them to fill up as they go. The centre encourages everyone to turn up in fun and friendly Halloween costumes, too, so it's a good excuse to get the fancy dress sorted early.
Beyond the trail, there's a giant Halloween selfie coffin set up for posing, and a challenge to guess how many creepy eyeballs are lurking inside a mysterious cauldron, with a prize for anyone who gets it right. Between the two, there's plenty to keep the kids occupied while you're there.
