Pumpkin Painting

Pumpkin Painting is happening at Bianco Lounge in the White Rose Shopping Centre on Thursday 22 October, from 7pm to 9pm. It's a straightforward evening: you get a pumpkin, some paint, and a couple of hours to work on it. If you've never done it before, it's exactly what it sounds like—painting a pumpkin rather than carving one, so there's no knife work involved and no messy guts to clear up afterwards.

The session runs for two hours, which is plenty of time to get a proper design on there without having to rush it. Since it's paint and not carving, you can go as detailed as you like with the colours, and you're not limited to just one or two shapes. It's the kind of thing that works just as well as a quiet night in with a friend as it does as a small group outing.

One of the best bits is that you don't need to bring anything with you. All the painting materials are provided, so you just turn up and get started. A drink is included in the price too, which is a nice touch to have on the table while you're working. The venue is Bianco Lounge, inside the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds LS11 8LU, so it's easy to get to.

Tickets range from £8.30 to £11.55, with the materials and the drink both covered. The session runs from 7pm to 9pm, and doors open at 6:45pm, so there's a bit of time to settle in before you start painting.
