The Overgate Centre is hosting Halloween trick or treat tours on Saturday.

Hourly dressing up, games, tasty treats, face painting and Halloween-themed performances will take place until 4pm.

Many of the retail staff throughout the shopping centre will also be embracing the Halloween spirit by dressing up in scary costumes.

A number of retailers including Bibble Milkshake, Smiggle, Lush, Frankie & Benny's, Fuel Juice Bar, The Fragrance Shop, Scentsations, Paperchase, Claire's, Menkind, The Perfume Shop and Millie's Cookies will be part of the tour and offering a trick or treat to all.

These range from free Halloween mask-making in Paperchase and free Halloween pencils for any child in fancy dress at Smiggle to bath time pumpkin making in Lush.

Centre manager Malcolm Angus said: "The final plans are being put in place to guarantee a Halloween to remember in the centre this Saturday and everyone is invited to this free event.

"We expect the trick or treat tours to be especially popular so would encourage families to come down early and make the most of the spooky fun and atmosphere."
