Spooktacular Ways To Have Fun This Halloween For You & The Family
October 31st is a date always circled in our calendar: pumkins, parties, and plenty of scares, Halloween is one of the best days of the year for you and the rest of the family to have a truly spooktacular time trying new things! Here's six great (and budget-friendly) way that you too can have plenty of fun this Halloween!
1) Visit A Pumpkin Patch And Pick The Perfect Pumpkin
One of the true beauties of the UK is our rich number of farms and vast amounts of countryside means there's always a day right out on our doorstep. At this time of year, plenty of farms will be opening up their pumpkin patches for you and the family to visit. Be sure to grab plenty of pictures and pick the perfect pumpkin to take home and carve. Speaking of which...
2) Carve A Cheshire Grin Or Crooked Smile Into Your Pumpkins
With your perfect pumpkin, let's give it a face that truly screams 'Halloween!' and BOOsts the look of your home.
And it's still super simple for you and the kids to fill a weekend afternoon: simply cut a hole in the top of the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds and insides, carve a cheeky smile into your pumpkin, then light it up and showcase it to the whole street!
3) Enjoy Some Pumpkin-Inspired Recipes
Throwing away the leftovers of your pumpkin is a GRAVE mistake, and could be something that will haunt you for the rest of the holidays.
There's plenty of healthy, delicious and aromatic pumpkin recipies including pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin soup, and even fried pumpkin to add into a filling risotto or sweet curry for you to recycle an indoor Jack-O-Lantern into just the right ingredient for a true autumn treat.
4) Turn Your Home Into A True Haunted House
Before you hang up the Christmas lights and decorate the tree, there's no better time than now to make your home look straight out of Elm Street and have the entire neighbourhood trembling in how scary it looks.
From ghouls and ghosts in the front garden, to lighting up your Jack O Lantern to illuminate the whole street, show you're in the Halloween spirit and make your home look really spooktacular!
