THE Barnyard Theatre at Gateway is celebrating Halloween for the first time on Saturday, 31 October with two special events – one during the day, aimed at children, and one at night for adults, including the Rugby World Cup final.
The first is a fun event for kids and families in the afternoon, with the theatre opening at 11.30am and activities from noon to 2pm. This will include a Hall Of Horrors, face painters, a magician and trick or treat stations. There will also be a hip-hop dancing display, followed by a dance-off for the kids.
Things will be amped up in the evening for adults when things kick off at 5.30pm in preparation for the Rugby World Cup final on the theatre’s big screen. Patrons attending this show will experience the House Of Horrors and can have their face painted by special effect make-up artists (either for Halloween or in support of their favourite rugby finalists). The screening of the Rugby World Cup final will then be followed by The Barnyard’s current show, Viva Las Vegas, with a deejay and dance floor keeping the party going thereafter.
Everyone attending both events is encouraged to not only dress up but to also decorate their seating area in a Halloween theme, with prizes up for grabs!
