Eerie Animal Encounter

A Halloween Half-Term Special

This October half term, something wild is creeping into The Marlowes shopping centre.

Join us on Monday 26th October, 10am – 3pm for the Eerie Animal Encounter - a free, drop-in experience with some of the animal kingdom's most fascinating and slightly spine-tingling creatures.

From slithering snakes and scuttling tarantulas to giant snails, beetles, rats and a beautiful owl, there's something to intrigue and delight visitors of all ages.

Come and go as you please throughout the day - no booking required. Our friendly animal handlers will be on hand to answer questions and share fascinating facts about each creature.

Feeling brave? For a small fee, you can get hands-on and hold the owl: £3 a go, or two for £5.

What to expect:

• Up-close encounters with snakes, lizards, tarantulas, giant snails, beetles, rats and an owl
• Friendly, knowledgeable handlers on hand throughout
• Optional owl handling - £3 a go or 2 for £5
• A fun, free, family-friendly Halloween half-term activity
