Dobbies, the UK's leading garden centre, is inviting children in Cirencester to its great value Little Scare-lings event this Halloween, guaranteed to get them feeling pumpkin-tastic with a treasure trove of family-friendly activities.

Available in Dobbies' Cirencester store between 26-29 October, Little Scare-lings is guaranteed to get everyone in the spine-chilling spirit. Great for kids aged 3-10, this event is action-packed and has something special in store for those hunting for the perfect pumpkin to take home and carve.

Kids can also strut their spooky style and take part in the garden centre's annual scare-a-thon to win a prize for the best dressed. Little Scare-ling attendees will sink their fangs into Halloween treats, pumpkin-themed activities and games.

With plenty of options for even the fussiest trick-or-treaters, children will have a great choice of plates of food while adults can enjoy a selection of soup, sandwiches and cake.

Families will be invited to visit Dobbies' very own miniature pumpkin patch. Here children can take a pumpkin home, carve it up using Dobbies' guide and create their own personalised pumpkin for welcoming trick-or-treaters.

Sarah Murray, who created this year's event, loves Halloween and can't wait to welcome Little Scare-lings along for the event.
