Planet Retro’s Little Shop of Halloween

All Hallows’ Eve draws ever-nearer and you know what that means - it’s time to get your costumes!! Are you going as a trickster or do you want to look a treat? Either way, make sure your outfit is out of this world by visiting Planet Retro’s Halloween pop-up costume shop.

Galway’s coolest Halloween pop-up shop is back and better than ever. Open from Monday October 14th right until the big day itself on the 31st, at Planet Retro on Merchants Rd.

With costumes of all ages (that’s right, even for the youngest members of the family!) ranging from the classics and family-friendly, to the eerie and unsettling. This Halloween, Planet Retro invites you to embrace your inner clown and look awesome while doing it. All for the bargain price of €25 per kilo or €15 for half a kilo.

For owner Maggie Concannon and her creative team their excitement around the Halloween shop is palpable. It offers shoppers the chance to embody the pageantry of dressing up and really “think outside the box.” Their costumes have come from Carnivals across Europe and many are handmade to an exceptionally high-quality. These costumes will last you years to come so you can recycle and reuse them again and again.

This year take Maggie’s sound advice and “don’t wait until the last minute” to get your Halloween outfit sorted. Shop at Planet Retro and you’ll be ready to hit the streets for a bit of trick-or-treating, or the dance floors to monster mash with pals.
