Families looking to get into the Halloween spirit should put 28 October in their diaries, when Merseyway and Redrock will host 'a day of spooky celebrations'. 

From 12-3pm, Beetlejuice-themed characters will head into the town centre. Stopfordians young and old are invited to join 'in their best Halloween attire', for a day of tricks and treats, free to attend. 

A statement from Merseyway outlines some of the things families can expect: 

• A ghostly graveyard in the undercover mall, with a Beetlejuice-themed trail map and follow clues around the centre to win *trick or treat prizes
• Scary craft sessions in the centre where children can make a Halloween night light ready to take home, while Beetlejuice characters will also be on hand for 'scare-tacular photo opportunities'
• Beetlejuice's very own joke shop on Adlington Walk

What's more, Redrock will host a safe trick-or-treating session from 5-7pm. Families will be asked to stay in their Halloween costumes and come down to the popular entertainment complex for an evening of celebrations, including walkabout acts, live music, and spooky family-friendly games.

Redrock restaurants and bars will also be getting involved with the Halloween fun, with Pizza Express offering free Halloween doughballs to all visitors who download the Pizza Express app.

Centre Manager, Victoria Nichol said "Our annual Trick or Treat celebrations have become a staple event for Stockport town centre and we're so excited for its return in 2023. This year's celebrations will be Beetlejuice-themed and we can't wait to see all the parents and children in their Halloween costumes ready to celebrate the Halloween weekend. 

"We'd like to encourage everyone to come along to this free one-day event, where we can guarantee lots of singing, dancing and Halloween fun for the family."
