A Halloween trail and "Boo-tiful" selfie bench will launch at The Maltings during October half term.

The event will run from October 24 to November 1, and visitors can take part in the trail and enter to win a £100 St Albans Gift Card to spend in 60 city centre shops.

To enter, participants need to pick up a map from Magical Story, find the pumpkins hidden in the windows of 12 businesses, and write the corresponding letters on the map.

They then need to solve the code word and drop their entry into the post box inside the library on level 2.

The map is packed with games and puzzles for all ages.

Participants can also enjoy a Biscoff Bonanza from Waffle Wands, a pumpkin spiced latte from Bakers and Baristas, or bubble teas from Moo Boo.

The Maltings manager, Richard Marrett, said: "What a scarily exciting thing to do with your kids in half-term – we can’t wait to see everybody.

"Our fright-fully fabulous display at our Boo-tiful selfie bench offers the perfect spot for snapping those sought-after Instagrammable pics.

"Thank you to Ember Designs for creating our map and form which is packed with puzzles and jokes to keep you eerily entertained on your trail."
