Get ready for a SCARE at Williamson Square this Halloween!

Halloween is creeping into Liverpool, and Williamson Square is transforming into Williamson SCARE on 30 October and 31 October 2024, from 12pm – 4pm, offering a spooktacular celebration for all ages.

Whether you’re looking to snap a selfie with spooky characters, hone your pumpkin-carving skills, or enjoy creepy crafts, Williamson Scare promises to be the highlight of your Halloween festivities.

Kick off the Halloween fun on Wednesday with spooky selfie spots dotted around Williamson Square.

You’ll have the chance to meet some ghoulish goblins and wicked witches on stilts who will be roaming the area at 12pm, 1pm, and 2pm for the goblins, and 1.15pm, 2.15pm, and 3.15pm for the witches.

Be sure to get your camera ready for these larger-than-life characters as they create a fun, eerie atmosphere. On Halloween itself, Williamson SCARE will become a hub for creative spirits. If you’re looking to perfect your pumpkin, stop by for design tips from a professional carver to give your jack-o’-lantern that extra flair.

Get your hands dirty with wooden Halloween decoration crafting, and head to Bluecoat for hands-on printmaking of spooky monsters.

Bluecoat will help you create your own Halloween-themed artwork with a screen-printing session perfect for adding a personal touch to your festive décor.

The Halloween fun doesn’t stop there! Head over to St John’s Shopping Centre, which will be hosting a spooktacular Halloween trail packed with giveaways, decorations, and scarily good deals from a variety of stores. With haunting surprises around every corner, it’s the perfect place to continue your Halloween shopping and enjoy the festive spirit.

And for the grand finale of your Halloween celebrations, don’t miss the family-friendly performance of “Room on the Broom” at the Liverpool Playhouse from October 29 – November 2. Based on the beloved children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, this magical tale is perfect for rounding off your spooky season.
