Stranger Halloween

Stranger Halloween takes over Potions & Rations on Saturday 31 October, turning the venue into a supernatural world inspired by Stranger Things. The whole day is built around the show's 1980s setting, with Hawkins and the Upside Down as the backdrop. Immersive 80s-inspired sets, atmospheric lighting, an iconic alphabet light wall and a floating Max installation carry the room, and the night rounds out with themed food and drink and an 80s DJ party. Tito's Handmade Vodka and Pilot Beer are sponsoring the occasion.

The day starts with Hellfire Dungeons & Dragons sessions running through the afternoon. There's a slot for kids aged 8-14 from 11:30 to 13:30, and another for anyone from 14:30 to 17:30. Both include food and drink. From 17:30, themed food and drinks come on the menu, and tables are available from 18:00 with a minimum booking of four people. The evening finishes with an 80s Halloween party from 20:00, with a DJ on the decks.

On the practical side, the Hellfire D&D sessions are £30 per child for the 11:30 slot and £35 per person for the 14:30 one, both with food and drink included. The themed food and drink from 17:30 is £25 per person for one main course and one alcoholic drink, with tables from 18:00 and a minimum booking of four people. The 80s Halloween party from 20:00 is £5 entry, and Polaroid photos are £5 each. It's all at Potions & Rations, 39-41 Broughton Street, Edinburgh EH1 3JU.
