#AmazingAccrington Shop Trail

The #AmazingAccrington Halloween Shop Trail is back this October half-term, building on the success of last year’s event which was the biggest and best yet.

Running from Monday 27th to Friday 31st October and sponsored by Hyndburn Borough Council, the trail invites children under 12 to enjoy a frightfully fun “trick or treat” adventure around Accrington town centre.

Young visitors can collect stamps from 15 participating local outlets, and once they’ve gathered 10 or more, they can enter to win some fang-tastic prizes. Completed entry forms should be dropped into the entry box at Café Ri-An on Stanley Street.

Participating outlets include Elsie’s Café, Happy Cats Hyndburn Rescue, Althams Travel, Sarah Jane’s Crafty Creations, Frankie’s Café, Hyndburn Food Pantry, Kraken Kollectables, Scales of the Basilisk, Jo’s Vintage Coffee Bar, the OASST shop in the Arndale, Acorns of Lancashire, Barbara Kays, Sweet Child of Mine Kidswear, Geeks ’n’ Gizmos and Café Ri-An.

The Halloween Shop Trail encourages families to shop local, explore independent retailers and discover some of Accrington’s hidden gems while enjoying a fun, family-friendly Halloween experience.

There are three fantastic prizes to be won, including a £50 cash prize for first place, Accrington Stanley tickets for second place and a sweet hamper for third place.
