Pumpkin Carving Competition

The New Adelphi Club is hosting a Pumpkin Carving Competition on Thursday 29 October, just a few days before Halloween. It's a straightforward one: you bring your pumpkin, you carve it, and you enter it into the competition. If you've spent the last few years perfecting your carving skills at home, this is your chance to put them up against other people in the city.

It's a proper autumn activity, and since it's held at The New Adelphi Club in Hull, it's easy to get to. The date is 29 October, so it falls well within the Halloween window, giving you plenty of time to source a decent pumpkin before you head in. Whether you're going for something classic or something a bit more ambitious, the carving is the whole point of the night.

Entry is free, so there's no ticket to book in advance. You just turn up and get involved. It's a low-pressure way to spend an evening, and since it's free, it's as easy to drop into as any other night out in town. If you're into the seasonal side of things, it's a good one to have on the radar for the end of October.
