Halloween at The Tin Cat

The Tin Cat is hosting a children's Halloween party on Saturday 31 October, from 12:00 to 14:00. It's a daytime one, so it fits into the Saturday morning run rather than taking up the whole evening.

Inside, the party is built around a disco and a scavenger hunt for the kids to get stuck into. The venue frames it as a way for parents to hand over the Halloween fun for a couple of hours while they relax with a drink nearby, so it's designed as much for the adults as for the little ones.

Alongside the games, there's something a bit different going on. The Tin Cat is building a community ofrenda, a traditional Day of the Dead altar used to honour and remember loved ones. They're inviting people to contribute to it, so if you fancy adding something, you can bring along a photo, some marigolds, or a small treat or note to leave there. It's a nice, quiet counterpoint to the disco side of things, and it's open to anyone who wants to take part.

It runs from 12:00 to 14:00 at The Tin Cat on St Edmund Street in Weymouth, and it's £2 per child.
