A jam-packed schedule of spooky family activities has arrived for half-term fun at Clarks Village.

The shopping outlet in Street is hosting a range of free events throughout the week, including craft clubs, slime-making sessions, pumpkin carving, and face painting - all designed to keep children entertained during the school break.

Mike Jones, centre director at Clarks Village, said: "From pumpkin carving to slime-making, Clarks Village is packed with creative craft activities for the whole family this half-term.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming guests to enjoy our hands-on workshops, shop our fantastic outlet discounts, or grab a bite to eat at one of our grab-and-go cafes or late-night restaurants."

The daily craft club runs from 11am to 3pm until Sunday, November 1, offering a variety of creative activities for children.

Pumpkin carving will take place on Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, from 11am to 3pm.

Children can find a hidden pumpkin around the village and bring it to the Homeware Pavilion for carving and decorating.

Free slime play sessions will be held every 30 minutes from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, October 31, with limited spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Face painting by Wacky Woo is available until Saturday, October 31, from 11am to 3pm.

Families can also explore the Mindful Monsters Trail, which has been given a spooky makeover for the season.
