We still have a fantastic selection of Halloween costumes that you can loan as part of your membership.
If you’re thinking of becoming a member the cost of a yearly membership is less than the average cost of one costume to buy new. £7 gets you a 2 toy membership for a whole year and you’re doing a bit for the environment too.
Must live in North Tyneside to join.
