Spooktacular Woodside Family Day
A FREE afternoon of Hallowe’en family fun descends upon Woodside Ferry Terminal on Sunday 30th October. Organised by Open Culture, Shiverpool and Mersey Ferries the ‘Spooktacular Woodside Family Day’ invites guys and ghouls of all ages to enjoy an array of spookily themed arts and crafts fun from 12 noon until 4pm.
Our Creepy Crafters will be on hand to help little ghouls to make monstrous masks and boingy bat toys, whilst Shiverpool’s characters from beyond the grave roam the site telling tales to scare the grown ups and measuring the children’s ‘Ghoul and Spirit Status' with a special measuring tape.
The Frightful Facepainter will be there to perfect your deathly complexion and be amazed by close up magic from the Wicked Wizards!
Find artworks and gifts from local artists and makers at the art fair, and visitors are invited to arrive in costume (by 3pm) to enter the best fancy dressed family competition to win a family ticket (2 Adults/2 Children) for Shiverpool's 'Shiver on the River' Cruise! (worth £40)
Shiver on the River
After all the macabre madness guests will be dying to board Shiverpool’s special Hallowe’en cruise Shiver on the River which departs from Liverpool at 4.00pm, Seacombe at 4.10pm and Woodside at 4.20 pm.
Join Shiverpool as they set sail on their maiden voyage across the waves for Shiver on the River, telling forgotten tales of lawless Liverpudlians and Wirral wreckers. Let their spirit-guides submerge you in a whirlpool of tempest and tragedy, infamy and intrigue, and the chilling whispers of drowned souls.
Batten down the hatches me hearties... a storm is brewing!
Tickets are priced at £10 each and the cruise lasts approx. 2 hours The Shiver on the River tickets will also entitle you to cross the river to Woodside on the normal River Explorer Cruises from midday in order to attend the Spooktacular Woodside Family Day there during the afternoon. You can book Shiver on the River online here (http://www.merseyferries.co.uk/content/Shop/SpecialCruisesEvents.aspx) or by calling Mersey Ferries on 0151 330 1444.
