If your kids love animals, this could make for a fun and informative free day out. Pet products retailer Pets at Home is running totally free 'My Pet Pals' workshops for kids in most of its 450+ stores from Saturday 12 October until Sunday 3 November (find your nearest store). You'll just need to book your place online by filling in a form.
Sessions are themed for Halloween and last for 45 minutes. Children will be able to learn all about all the gruesome things our pets like to eat, design their own pumpkin stencil, and discover how to meet and interact with our small animals appropriately. They’ll receive spooky activity sheets as well as a My Pet Pals certificate and stickers.
The sessions run on the following dates:
Saturday 12 to Sunday 13 October
Saturday 19 to Sunday 20 October
Saturday 26 to Sunday 3 November
Children don't need to bring anything as all materials will be provided. Children of all ages are welcome, but sessions are designed for kids aged four and older, and they will need to be supervised at all times by a parent or guardian. You need to book online for your chosen store, date and time.
