Halloween 2014

The Big Halloween: Wicked Wharf with Capital E

Picture
Rough winds howl and dark skies gather over Capital E's Queens Wharf dwelling as mayhem and mischief collide for a chilling adventure this Halloween...
Unearth the hidden treasure and spooky secrets of Chaos Cove – a safe sanctuary for littlies. Test your nerve and explore Eerie Island where sea shanties fill the air and pirates roam unguarded. Huddle together in the Ghoul’s Galley (you’ll be safe there), but don’t get caught, you might be forced to walk the plank. In the midst of it all, for the braver soul, a haunted shipwreck, The Nameless, lies in the darkness undisturbed… waiting, its crew rumoured to wander the wreckage. We won’t be there to guide you through the dark and treacherous trail, so bring a torch! It’s no time to be afraid of your own shadow. There’s something for the whole family at Wicked Wharf this Halloween…what will you find? Get your costume ready (there are plenty of prizes to be won) and we’ll see you there…if you dare!

Date Sat 1 November 
Where Queens Wharf
When 4 - 8pm 
Price Under the sails - free. Indoors -gold coin donation. 
Bring a torch for ghost hunting!

Whitby Party by the Lake
Friday 31 October 4.30-7.30pm

Party by the Lake this year is full of fun activities for family members of all ages. Young or old come and enjoy an afternoon of bouncy castles, merry-go-round, face painting, inflatable slide, inflatable obstacle course, slam-dunk bungee, the original PBTL horizontal bungee slide, tug of war and much, much more!! If physical activities are not your idea of fun or you need a break from the hustle and bustle outside then come into the NPBC auditorium and relax with a concert performed by a variety of entertainers. If you're not there then you will be missing out on the best afternoon of fun that Whitby has to offer.

But wait there's more...
I know what you are thinking... What if I get hungry? Well fear not! With a sausage sizzle, donuts, candy floss and a retreat for the parents in the lounge where you can indulge in home baking, tea and coffee as well as loads more yummy food options, you will not have to suffer ;).

This must be too good to be true you say, but it gets better! 
Food and Beverages aside... ALL OF THIS IS FREE!
