The Great Castlepoint Monster Hunt

Create them. Then find them!

Join us for a monster adventure at Castlepoint, with a creative children’s workshop followed by a Halloween trail during October half-term.

Design a Monster Workshop

Saturday 10 October | 10am–3pm

Join The Story Works to dream up your very own friendly monster. Give it a name, a personality and tell us what makes it a good friend!

Taking place on World Mental Health Day, the workshop celebrates creativity, kindness and friendship. Selected children’s designs will inspire the monsters featured in our Halloween window trail.

The Halloween Monster Hunt

27 October – 1 November

Two giant monsters are arriving outside M&S — and their little friends will be hiding in store windows around Castlepoint!

Start your adventure outside M&S, where you can meet the giants, take a photo and pick up a trail sheet. Then explore the centre to find six little monsters, collecting a letter from each to reveal the secret word.

Once you’ve solved it, take your completed sheet to the prize collection store shown on your trail sheet to claim a Halloween treat.*

The window stickers will be visible from outside, so families can enjoy the hunt without entering the stores.

Bring your imagination for the workshop, then your detective skills for the hunt!

*Treats are subject to availability.
