Craft Your Own Trick-or-Treat Bag
Every participant will get their own blank tote bag — a blank canvas just waiting to be brought to life (or the afterlife!) this Halloween. Will you summon a swarm of bats, spin tangled cobwebs, or unleash a ghoulish grin? It’s your chance to conjure up the creepiest, quirkiest, or most fang-tastic design your imagination can dream up. Perfect for stashing away all those sweet Halloween treasures in spine-chilling style.
Session Times:
4pm–4.30pm
4.45pm–5.15pm
5.30pm–6pm
Join Our Spooky Horror Orchestra
This isn’t your average orchestra — there are no violins or flutes here! Instead, you'll conjure up creepy soundscapes using weird and wonderful instruments (think chains, whispers, rattles, and eerie echoes). In this hands-on workshop, you’ll become a master of musical mayhem — perfect for setting the scene in any haunted house!
Session Times:
4.15pm–4.35pm
4.45pm-5.05pm

Become a Halloween Movie Star
Ever dreamed of being in a Halloween movie? Now’s your chance to shine (or scream). Step in front of our green screen and get transported from the real world into a fright-filled fantasy. Whether you're creeping through a haunted forest, flying with witches, or running from ghosts — the spooky spotlight is all yours.
Drop in anytime between 4pm–6pm.
Create Your Own Retro-Style Halloween Video Game
