🎃 Looking for some family fun this Halloween 🎃

🦇 The Pearce Institute are hosting an afternoon of Halloween activities on Saturday 31st of October 1pm - 4pm to celebrate 150 years at the heart of Govan.

👻 Read all the information below

🎃🦇 GET THE FAMILY ALONG TO HALLOWEEN AT THE PEARCE! 🦇🎃

Something wickedly wonderful is happening at the Pearce Institute this Halloween! 👻

As part of our 120th Anniversary celebrations, we’re throwing open the doors for an afternoon of Halloween fun, games, snacks and plenty of spooky surprises and we want to see as many local families as possible there! 🧙‍♀️🎃

📅 Saturday 31st October
⏰ 1pm–4pm
📍 Pearce Institute – Billiard Hall, Govan

👻 Fancy dress? Absolutely!
🕷️ Games? Of course!
🍬 Snacks? You bet!
🎃 Halloween fun for the whole family? You’d better believe it!

And with the Pearce Institute celebrating 120 years at the heart of Govan, there’s perhaps no better place for a Halloween party. After all, the Pearce has always had a few stories, characters and ghosts lurking around its corridors! 👀

🧛‍♂️ And did you know… Bram Stoker was said to have been a great pal of Lord Pearce? So perhaps the author of Dracula himself would approve of a Halloween gathering at the Pearce! 🧛‍♂️🩸

A HUGE thank you to our fantastic housing association sponsors, Govan Housing Association, Linthouse Housing Association and Elderpark Housing, for helping us make this community celebration possible. ❤️

So grab the kids, dig out the costumes and come along and celebrate 120 years of the Pearce Institute with us!
