Play Centre Faces Backlash Over Halloween Decor

Rugrats and Halfpints, a children's play centre in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, faced backlash after using realistic body bag decorations for Halloween, leading to complaints from shocked parents. The decorations, resembling human bodies wrapped in black plastic with 'Caution' and 'Danger' tape, were placed at the back of the play area, visible only to children. A mother reported doing a 'double take' and expressed concern about having to explain the decorations to her child. Following the complaints, the centre apologized and promptly removed the decorations, stating it was not their intention to cause distress. Rugrats and Halfpints, known for its award-winning safe and fun environment, emphasized its commitment to providing a positive experience for children and parents. This incident parallels another case where a mother was asked to remove similar decorations from her home due to neighbor complaints.
