Halloween2018With mini number two following her brother through the school doors for the first time and mini number three starting a couple of sessions at nursery a week, I’m finding the start of the new academic year even more difficult this year – so I’m fast forwarding in my mind to half term and Halloween fun.

If you’re looking for some fearful family fun take a look at the list below and see if anything might appeal to your mini monsters.

As always – some events need advance booking, there are only so many pumpkins in a pumpkin patch and, of course, all live (and undead) events are subject to change so be sure to click on the links to check the details and phone/book before travelling.

Do you know of an event we’ve missed?  Tell us about it in the comments or email us at hello@theminimalpi.co.uk and don’t forget to keep checking back in case we’ve found more.
