HALLOWEEN WITH THE BASE

If you’re heading out trick or treating with the kids – or going to one of Hamilton’s great events, stop in at The Base first. Not only do we have everything you need to look your beastly best, but, if you stop in at our Customer Service Desk in costume this Wednesday and growl ‘Trick or Treat’, we’ll reward YOU with a sweet treat* (no tricks!).

Plus, our foodcourt is open until 7pm to feed your little monsters.
