Well the shops in Canterbury City Centre that are stocking Halloween decorations are similar to those already mentioned and photographed in Folkestone, so I haven't added any photos for those shops, but there were a few other shops worth mentioning...
Marks & Spencer
There seems to be less on offer this year especially on the confectionery front. It must be about 10 years now since they produced their excellent pumpkin teapot and they have sadly not exceeded themselves since. However in you are looking for a pumpkin piñata M&S is still the place to go.
Whitefriars Food & Craft Market
I've never noticed this small independent retailer before, however it has some nicely made craft items, including washbags made out of material featuring monsters from the Universal Monsters series of films from the 1930s & 40s.
Lakeland
This kitchen shop usually a nice display of Halloween gifts, confectionery and tableware. However this year their offering seems much reduced. However they do have cake moulds, cutters, paper cupcake holders and ready to roll icing.
Paperchase
Every year I struggle to find Halloween greetings cards in the UK, and Paperchase are usually quite good at obliging. They have about a dozen Halloween designs on sale, however most were of cute animals, so 'no sale' for me!
H+M
The clothing shop had orange socks with a Jack O'Lantern design on them.
But other than that, it was a pretty uneventful trip.
