Westgate Oxford is the ultimate destination for all the family this October half-term, with a whole host of fun activities for all ages – including a special two-day event in partnership with Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Other October half-term activities include:
- Indulge in a delicious bite to eat at Ole & Steen or Joe & the Juice
- Adventure awaits in the exciting escape rooms at Escape Hunt
- Enjoy the three nine-hole crazy golf courses at Junkyard Golf Club
- Sit back and relax in front of the big screen at Curzon Cinema
Film fans can get into the Halloween spirit as a replica of the iconic Ecto-1 car pulls into Westgate Oxford to celebrate the launch of Sony Pictures’ highly anticipated Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which can be seen at Westgate from November 18th.
Ahead of the film’s UK release, on October 28th and 29th Westgate Oxford’s visitors can snap a selfie with the Ecto-1 and stand inside a super-sized ‘ghost trap’. Screens will also show snippets of the new movie and Lego™ Ecto-1 models will be on display, with special competitions for a chance to win a private screening of the movie and Ghostbusters-themed goodies via social media.
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, said: “Film fans of all ages are excited to see the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie, so we’re helping to get them in the spirit by welcoming the famous Ecto-1 here at Westgate Oxford. We’re sure the film will be a big hit, so make sure to book your cinema tickets in advance so you don’t miss out.”
Ecto-1 and the ‘ghost trap’ will be at Westgate Oxford on October 28th and 29th and Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be showing at Westgate’s Curzon Cinema from November 18th. For details, visit https://westgateoxford.co.uk/ghostbusters
Keep the kids entertained with an exciting adventure in one of the interactive escape rooms at Escape Hunt. In this nail-biting experience, you have 60 minutes to find and solve a series of clues to escape…no pressure!
