The Wonky Labrador's second year of pumpkin carving, with spooky tunes, ghoulish treats and witchy vibes.
The Wonky Labrador is bringing back its pumpkin carving night on Monday 26 October, its second year running. It's a session the pub is hosting itself, so it's their own take on the tradition rather than something they've brought in from outside. The carving is the main thing, but they're building a whole evening around it: spooky tunes on the speakers, ghoulish treats to snack on, and what they describe as witchy vibes throughout.
If you've never done it, the format is pretty straightforward. You get your pumpkin, a few tools, and a bit of space to carve out whatever you fancy. The pub provides the setup, and you provide the design. It's as much about the process as the result, and since it's a pub setting, you can have a drink in one hand and a carving tool in the other. The spooky tunes and treats run alongside, so it's not just a quiet craft session — it's more of a social night that happens to involve pumpkins.
It's a good one if you're after a low-fuss way to get your Halloween decorations sorted. Instead of clearing the kitchen table and spending the evening scrubbing pumpkin guts out of the carpet, you do it all there and leave the mess behind. It's a bit of a ritual in itself, and doing it with a crowd around you makes it more of an occasion than just a chore to tick off before the 31st.
