This October half-term, Woolwich Works will transform into a Halloween haven with a line-up full of family fun.

Later the same day families will get the chance to learn the iconic moves from Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

The fun, step-by-step dance workshop is perfect for beginners and families of all ages. Begin with a warm-up to a mashup of dance floor favourites before diving into the famous choreography.
