Meet creepy crawlies at Shrewsbury’s Darwin shopping centre this Halloween

Families looking for some spooky fun this Halloween are being invited to visit The Darwin shopping centre in Shrewsbury for the chance to meet some creepy crawlies, and to win £50 by finding some missing skeletons.

Between 11am and 4pm on Saturday 26 October people can drop in to The Collective on the lower level to meet an array of creepy crawlies, from snakes and lizards to tarantulas and even cuddly chinchillas. Perfect for families and animal lovers, this event is a fantastic way to learn about some of nature’s creepiest creatures in a fun, safe environment.

It’s free and there’s no need to book in advance,

And from Saturday 19 to Thursday 31 October there’s a chance to win £50 to spend at Primark by simply finding the names of the hidden skeleton crew members scattered throughout the centre

The trail takes around 10 minutes to complete and can easily fit into a shopping trip. It’s a fun and simple way to explore the centre while getting into the Halloween spirit. To take part people just need to pick up a trail sheet from Megastore Collectibles on The Darwin’s middle level.

Kevin Lockwood, The Darwin centre manager, said:

“Whether you’re meeting creepy crawlies or hunting down skeletons, there’s plenty of Halloween fun for everyone at The Collective and The Darwin centre. So come on down, get spooky, and don’t forget to enter the trail for your chance to win big!”
