30+ things to do with kids in Manchester this Halloween and October half term

The school holidays will soon be here again, which means you'll most likely be on the hunt for things to do with the kids.

Manchester Scare Skate - Scare Skate is returning to Manchester's Cathedral Gardens as part of the annual Halloween in the City event. As ghoulish monsters take over Manchester, one of the iconic MCR monsters will take centre stage at the 813 sqm rink, where there'll be Halloween-themed music and lighting for added effects. The event runs from October 21 to 31 and promises to 'bring frightfully good fun to half term festivities'.

HOME story time workshops - HOME is running some workshops in Manchester libraries which are all about storytelling and story-making. Alongside the digital Storytime Sessions, three family-friendly workshops will take place at Central Library on October 24, Longsight Library and Learning Centre on October 26, and at Powerhouse Library on October 27. See the website here for more details.

The Lowry - There's more theatre on offer at The Lowry over half term. The Tiger Who Came to Tea is heading to the venue from the West End as part of its UK tour. An Olivier Award-nominated smash hit show, it's running from October 27 to 30 and promises a performance 'packed with magic, sing-a-longs and clumsy chaos as this beloved book is brought to life'. Tickets cost from £18 and can be booked online.

Legoland Discovery Centre - Brick or Treat is back at Legoland for half term. Lego fans can join in a whole host of fun from building their own Lego pumpkin and helping to make a spooky garden, to watching the brand new Halloween 4D movie The Great Monster Chase. There's a scavenger hunt, the chance to help the master builders create a giant Lego vampire and meet and greets with characters including scarecrow and Lord Vampyre.

Bolton Smithills Open Farm - A Pumpkin Picking event is running at Smithills over the weekend of October 15/16 and then daily from October 22 to 30. It's suitable for children of all ages and farm staff will be in fancy dress helping to keep them entertained. Tickets cost £6 each and you buy tickets for the number of pumpkins you want to pick, not the amount of people attending.
