Spooktacular Halloween

This Halloween, prepare for a day of spooky fun at Ladysmith Shopping Centre!
Join us for a Spooktacular Halloween event where you can get up close and personal with some creepy creatures.
When: Thursday 30th October 2025
Time: 10am – 3pm
Where: Ladysmith Shopping Centre, Ashton-Under-Lyne
It’s going to be a wild and unforgettable day, with everything from slithering snakes and leathery lizards to hairy tarantulas and tenrecs. You’ll have a hands-on encounter with these fascinating creatures and get to chat with expert handlers who will share some fun, freaky facts about each one.
What’s a Halloween event without a costume? Transform your face with our free face painting station!
All activities are free to participate in, however, we encourage you to make a donation to our charity of the year partner The Anthony Seddon Fund who will be in attendance throughout the event.
Suggested donation amount: £2 for a face painting, £1 for participating in the creepy crawly encounter.
We can’t wait to see you there for a ghoulishly good time!
And Don’t Miss…
