Free drop-in family Halloween afternoon with games, music, dances, prizes and a spooktacular character at The Blackberry Jack.
The Blackberry Jack is hosting a family Halloween party on Saturday 31 October, from 3pm to 6pm. It's a drop-in afternoon open to everyone, so you can roll in whenever suits you rather than having to be there right at the start. The whole thing is free to enter, which makes it an easy one to add to the half-term plans without worrying about the cost.
Inside, they've got a few things running at once. There are games and music, dances for the kids to get stuck into, and prizes up for grabs. The main draw is a spooktacular character who'll be floating around the room, so if you've got little ones who love a bit of dressing up and a character to interact with, that's the part they'll probably enjoy most. It's a mix of activities, so if the dancing isn't your thing, you can stick to the games, or just hang out and watch the chaos unfold.
The Blackberry Jack is part of The Ivy Collection in St Albans, and this party is one of the family events they've put together for the half-term break. It's a good spot for a family afternoon because of where it sits in the city centre. You're just a short walk from St Albans Cathedral, the Townhall Market, and the Museum and Gallery, so it's easy to make a proper day of it—maybe a wander through the market or a visit to the museum before or after. If you're already in the centre with the kids, it's a convenient place to stop and let them burn off some energy.
