McArthurGlen Bridgend's Spooktacular Street Party

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- From 12-5pm on Saturday and Sunday, the designer outlet will be taken over by a host of Halloween entertainers, including kids performance act Up Against the Wall, street artists Electric Cabaret and the spooky scientists from Techniquest.

A fun day out for all the family, children will shriek with delight at the eerie entertainment, freaky face painters and tempting trick or treating throughout the centre as parents enjoy shopping for fashion and homeware at up to 60% less. Joining in the spooky spirit of the occasion, cafés and restaurants including Millie’s Cookies and the newly-opened Frankie and Benny’s will be putting on special Halloween treats for families to enjoy.

Richard Garratt, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen Bridgend says, “Halloween has the tendency to bring out the inner child in everyone, as mums, dads and kids dress up in terrifying fancy dress outfits and play tricks on each other. Our Spooktacular Street Party is a great chance for all the family to get involved in the hocus pocus of Halloween with a day’s shopping and exclusive entertainment.”
