A funfair with childrenโs rides and fairground attractions will be at the centre from Tuesday, October 25, to Saturday, October 29, including a mini Ferris wheel, inflatable play slide and a bungee trampoline.
Frozenโs friendly snowman, Olaf, and the plucky pups from TVโs cartoon series, PAW Patrol, will be at the funfair each day at 1pm-1.30pm and 3pm-3.30pm, ready to pose for photographs and to hand out discount vouchers to shoppers and visitors.

If spooky fun is what youโre after, Hull Carnival Arts is holding drop-in lantern-making workshops from Wednesday to Saturday at 1pm-3pm, culminating in a haunting Halloween Parade at 4.30pm on Saturday, October 29, supported by community street band, Bandanarama, performing their unique mash-up of disco hits, New Orleans funeral music, Indie classics and Cockney โum-paโ tunes.
Artisan sandwich and coffee shop Deli No.1 is offering Spooky Pie and Peas on Saturday, October 29, and authentic European restaurant, Riva Lounge and Cafรฉ Bar, is hosting a Family Halloween Party at 6.30pm, also on Saturday.
Graham Tait, Flemingate Centre Manager, said: โWeโre well and truly in Autumn now with colder days and darker evenings, so the events weโre putting on at Flemingate will keep the family entertained and lift peopleโs spirits during the half-term break.
โItโs a busy time coming up with lots of events and activities going on and itโs wonderful that all the retailers here are getting involved in the run up to Christmas.โ
Visiting Flemingate could not be easier, with a 500-space car park on site offering three hours parking for just ยฃ1 and Beverley Railway Station just a couple of minutesโ walk away.
The ยฃ120m Flemingate development is Beverleyโs largest ever regeneration scheme and has had a hugely beneficial impact. In addition to many leading national retailers that could not previously be accommodated in Beverley, Flemingate has brought much-needed new facilities to the town, including a 70,000 sq ft college campus, 80-bed Premier Inn, six-screen independent cinema and 130 new homes.
