Thornes PYO Pumpkin Festival Thursday to Saturday 10:00am - 4:00pm / Thornes Farm Shop / Free - pay for pumpkins
Would it even feel like Halloween if you didn’t make a slightly over ambitious attempt to copy and carve that pumpkin picture you found on google images only with slightly dodgy results? (Apologies here to those who are first-rate pumpkin carvers). Make your way to Thornes Farm Shop and pick pumpkins galore.
Halloween Quiz Night / Friday 30th October / 7.30pm / online / free
During lockdown, Sandford Village Hall ran a weekly quiz night via Facebook live with hilarious host Rachel. Each week was themed, a bit bonkers, and extremely popular with locals. This week they’re back for a Spooky Halloween Special. They say “Expect the usual general shoddy nonsense, poor quality bonus round and a particularly shonky music intro round. Get your mitts in that mahoosive bag of treats, crack open the cider and see you on the sofa!” They’re a friendly bunch, so why not?

Baobab Trick or Treat / Saturday 31st October / 6:00pm - 8:00pm / Baobab Cafe / free
Saddened that their own kids would miss out on dressing up and trick or treating due to the restrictions, the Baobab crew have decided to turn Baobab Cafe over to the dark side for one night only with free kiddies treats to any who visit between 6 and 8pm on Saturday. They say “Bring your little rotters for covid secure trick or treating - if you’re brave enough. Sorry adults, kiddies treats only, no healthy food on this occasion. Ha Ha Haaaa!”
