It may be premature, but plans are already in motion for Halloween at Brewery Square.

Ghosts and ghouls will be hidden throughout the square for its annual hunt and the brave hunters who find them will be rewarded with a prize.

The Brewery Square Halloween Ghost Hunt is open to families from 10am until 3pm on Saturday, October 27 and Sunday, October 28.

Charlotte Spracklen, centre manager for Brewery Square, said: “Our Brewery Square Hallowe’en Ghost Hunt is always a great event and it welcomes lots of families here each year. We can’t wait to see what fancy dress outfits are worn this year, and are hosting a competition for the ‘best dressed’ participant.”

This year the event will be taking donations for the development’s chosen charity, Home-Start West Dorset, which provides friendship and practical support to local families with children under the age of five.

The ghost hunt is open to children up to 15 years old. All entrants are required to collect an entry form on the day from the Concierge Office, opposite the Dorchester South train station, in order to start hunting. Completed forms should be returned for a prize.

A new addition to this year’s proceedings is a ‘best dressed’ competition, awarding a prize to the child with the spookiest costume.
