Spooktacular free activities for youngsters to be staged at Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness for Halloween

Youngsters and their families will be challenged to face their fears by joining in spooktacular activities at the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness.

The centre is staging events to mark Halloween on October 30 when a duo of witches will offer free arts and crafts in the form of pumpkin masks and bat tealight holders.

Youngsters will search the centre for pumpkins hidden in store windows before discovering whether a trick or treat awaits them.

Kirstin Gault, Eastgate’s digital and marketing executive, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming lots of young ghosts and ghouls to Eastgate for some Halloween fun."

All activities are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and parental supervision is required at all times.
