Get spooked at Spookfest

Drysdale’s Potato Shed will transform into a Halloween wonderland for a day full of family-friendly activities and entertainment.

Spookfest Family Fun Day will return to the multi-arts facility with spooky surprises, live entertainment and hands-on fun on Sunday 26 October.

There’s a bold new formant for this year’s event with the Haunted House resting in peace so that the event can focus more on music, entertainment and interactive activities.

Kids’ faces will light up with a safe and fun scare as laughter will errupt from families enjoying a day of magic and memories.

Participants are encouraged to prepare for a good time and can dress up if they like, with costumes encouraged.

Spookfest will feature live music, circus performances, disco karaoke, games, slime workshops, roving reptiles, face painting, hair braiding, balloons, and spooky storytelling.

The event will run from 11am to 3pm, with many activities available for free, except for the CircArts Performance and Slime Workshop sessions that are offered on a ‘pay what you can’ basis.

There was a good turnout during last year’s Spookfest, with many kids dressed as ghosts and ghouls participating in the event’s activities, and another good turnout is expected for this year’s event.
