It’s all about fun this October half term as The Mall Wood Green launches an action packed obstacle course for kids.

Located outside Cineworld on the first floor of the busy shopping centre, the fun-fuelled obstacle course will be open from 11am-4pm daily from Wednesday 23-Sunday 27 October. As well as low-level hurdles and a balancing beam, there will be hoops and cones and a tunnel with a mini ball pit for children to enjoy.

This event, which is designed to keep kids busy and active during the holidays, has been organised in aid of the Godwin Lawson Foundation, The Mall Cares charity partner for 2019.

The charity, which is based in North London, was established in 2012 by Yvonne Lawson to celebrate the life of her son, Godwin, who was fatally stabbed in March 2010 as part of an unprovoked attack. The GLF’s key objective is to reduce gun and knife crime across London.

This year, the fun doesn’t stop with half term; The Mall Wood Green is inviting kids to ‘get witch and famous’ for Halloween. The shopping centre’s fabulous face painters will be out in force on 31 October from 12-5pm near Cineworld to get local children ready for a spectacular fright fest.

Gwendolyne Lobo, Marketing Manager for The Mall Wood Green, commented. “We know from experience that October half term can sometimes bring bad weather so we’ve got a fun-packed few days planned at The Mall. We can’t wait to welcome local children along for a range of exciting activities and to challenge them to conquer their obstacles.”
