Halloween Events, Selfridges

London's Selfridges department store this week stages a series of specially-themed Halloween events.

Visitors to Selfridges will be able to participate in a monster mask-making session led by two mad scientists in lab coats, or catch a wicked witch who'll be whizzing around the store on a broomstick with a cast of accompanying ghouls and will be performing magic tricks.

Meanwhile, the stationery department will become the domain of one Magic Marvin, who promises to amaze all and sundry with contortionist tricks and eye-popping illusions, while the food hall will host pumpkin carving lessons.

Address: Selfridges, Oxford Street, London, W1.

Other special events set to take place at Selfridges include the Fabulous Food event, showcasing leading producers from all over the world, and Handbag Heaven - themed shopping nights with trunk shows and money-off offers.
