Annual Halloween fancy dress party of the Edinburgh Video-Gamers (EVG) with prizes for the scariest, most video game accurate and most creative costume.
EVG Does Halloween returns to The Old Bell Inn on Friday 30 October, the annual Halloween party hosted by the Edinburgh Video-Gamers. It's their fifth year running, and the night follows the group's fancy dress tradition, with prizes awarded in three categories: 'Scariest', 'Most Video Game Accurate' and 'Most Creative'. There's a possible bonus for any costume that manages to fit all three.
For those who haven't come across them, the Edinburgh Video-Gamers are a group of gamers based primarily in Scotland and Edinburgh. They meet both online via Discord and in person, with the aim of connecting players through gaming events and pub meets. This party is their big Halloween fixture, and the fancy dress is the main thing to work around if you're planning to go.
