🎃👻 CHINCHILLA'S CREEPIEST, SPOOKIEST HALLOWEEN EVENT IS BACK! 💀🦇
Shadows lurking in the darkness... mysterious things creeping through the night... and who knows WHAT might be waiting around the next corner? 👀
Get ready to be SERIOUSLY SPOOKED this Halloween 2026! 😱🎃
With OVER 250 BAGS OF LOLLIES TO GIVE AWAY 🍬🍭 we're preparing for an evening of frightfully fantastic fun at the Chinchilla TARDIS!
And because we want every little monster, witch, ghost and superhero to have an AMAZING time, we've made a few special arrangements this year!
🚦 SAFETY FIRST – KEEPING OUR LITTLE MONSTERS SAFE! ❤️
Our wonderful Jim, Chinchilla's favourite postie, has kindly stepped up to help us manage crowds and vehicle movements in and out of the Acacia Motel car park. What a legend! 🙌
With the Acacia Motel fully booked on Saturday night, there will be times when we need to allow guest vehicles to enter and exit safely.
We kindly ask all parents to help by keeping children clear of moving vehicles and following directions from our staff and volunteers whenever requested.
Little lives are precious and their safety will ALWAYS come first! ❤️
🍬 FAIRNESS FIRST – A LITTLE TREAT FOR EVERY LITTLE MONSTER!
Last year we discovered a few very clever little ghosts and goblins returning for seconds... and thirds... and perhaps even fourths! 😂👻
We admire their enthusiasm, but this year we're making sure the Halloween magic is shared fairly!
As each child receives their bag of lollies, we'll place a small, child-safe stamp on their hand so we can keep track of who's received their spooky treats.
One bag per child means more happy little faces and a fair share of Halloween goodies for everyone! 🍭❤️
📸 SAY CHEESE... OR SCREAM! HALLOWEEN PHOTOGRAPHY! 🎃👻
We'd LOVE to capture some of those amazing Halloween costumes and special family memories at the Chinchilla TARDIS!
Throughout the evening we'll be asking parents if they'd like a photo taken with their little monsters in costume or perhaps just the children on their own in front of our famous TARDIS! 📸❤️
These wonderful Halloween memories will be shared over the following days on our Chinchilla TARDIS Photostand page for everyone to enjoy!
❤️ IMPORTANT – PHOTOGRAPHY OF CHILDREN
The safety and privacy of children are extremely important to us.
If you're under 18, we'll need your mum, dad or legal guardian to be present and give us permission before we take your photograph for publication.
And to our teenage visitors, while we won't be asking everyone to produce identification, we're trusting you to be honest about your age. If you're under 18, please make sure your parent or guardian is there to give their permission.
Of course, photographs are completely optional and we'll always respect anyone who prefers not to be photographed.
Wonderful memories are even better when everyone feels happy, comfortable and safe! 💜
🎭 BIG HALLOWEEN FUN DOESN'T NEED A BIG BUDGET! 💰👻
Here's a little reminder to all our wonderful Chinchilla families... Halloween isn't about spending heaps of money on fancy costumes. It's about having FUN, getting creative and making memories together! ❤️
You don't need an expensive outfit to look absolutely SPOOKTACULAR! 🧟♂️
Our local Reject Shop and Choice have some amazing affordable face paints, fake blood and spooky little extras to help bring your Halloween creations to life!
And if you're wondering how to turn your little angel into a terrifying zombie, creepy vampire or wicked witch, jump onto YouTube and check out some of the fantastic Halloween makeup tutorials!
You'll be amazed at what you can create with a few dollars, a little imagination and some good old-fashioned family fun! 🎨🩸
Remember, the BEST Halloween costumes aren't always the most expensive... they're the ones made with imagination, laughter and a little bit of spooky magic! 🎃💜
