Children will also be able to enjoy scones, sandwiches, crudités, and sweet treats, as well as an orange squash.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies' events programme manager, said: "Our Little Scare-lings event is a great opportunity for families to get together and celebrate Halloween.

"Little Scare-lings takes inspiration from our Little Seedlings programme and has been very popular with families at our Swindon store in previous years, so we’re encouraging customers to book in advance to save any disappointment."

The Little Scare-lings event will take place on various dates in October and cost £10.99 per child and £7.50 per adult.

Dobbies also offers a full programme of autumnal events, including a pumpkin succulent planter workshop taking place on October 8 and 12.
