Scare Fest is coming to The Priory Shopping Centre in Dartford on Wednesday 28th October, with a free day of family Halloween fun this half term. Start at Craft Time by designing your very own trick-or-treat pot, then head off on the Sweet Treat Adventure around the shops, collecting stamps and filling your pot with goodies along the way.
Six mischievous witches are also hiding in shop windows across the centre for The Witch Hunt, and the first 400 successful hunters will earn an exclusive Scare Fest goody bag. Snap your spookiest family photo for the Scare & Share Gallery competition for the chance to win prizes, and catch Anton Ghoul's Kids Show, packed with comedy and magic.
