The Murder of John Dory: A Murder Mystery Cruise

For the first time ever, London Shell Co will be hosting Murder Mystery Cruises aboard The Prince Regent, with the first taking place on Halloween.

Over the course of the cruise the circumstances around the fishy murder of Admiral John Dory will unfold, alongside a five-course seafood meal, and the accused guests aboard the boat will have to crack the clues and discover the killer. Each guest will be vital to the story and assigned a character profile and script the week before so they can prepare to hide their guilt or come ready to defend themselves. Tickets available here.

Pumpkin Carving at The Prince

The Prince is hosting a Pumpkin Carving party on 28th and 29th October. Each guest will be provided with their very own pumpkin and carving kit to craft fang-tastic creations, alongside a Halloween Cocktail or Mocktail and pumpkin spiced popcorn, with prizes for the best ghoulish creations.

The halloween vibe will be running throughout the venue with fancy dress encouraged, a spooky song or two thrown into the playlist and tempting pumpkin and Halloween inspired food specials from on site restaurants Filth&Co, Jack’s Sprat and Utter Waffle. Tickets available here from £10.

Halloween at Hummingbird Bakery

Trick or treat your boo to some ghoulish new Halloween cupcakes from the Hummingbird zombakers including Red Velvet, chocolate and vanilla flavours. A million times tastier than brains, these freshly baked frights are bound to vanish as soon as they’re opened. For something for all the family, bring bone-chilling terror to the table at dessert time with this orange, green and purple-coloured Vanilla Halloween Cake topped with 3D vampire bats.

Halloween Spirits at Harvey Nichols

Dragon Tears Scotch Whiskey, Bloodshot Spiced Vodka, Black Tears Spiced Rum and a Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Cream Liqueur, are just some of the Halloween inspired Spirits available at Harvey Nichols. Be the ghostess with the mostest and prep the drinks cabinet with these ghoulish delights. With its pumpkin-faced label, we’re also a fan of the Tenuta di Tavignano. Crisp and dry with a gentle fizz, it tastes like pear sorbet, crunchy green apples, lemon sherbet, wildflowers, the herb patch on a frosty morning, and an ever-so-gentle waft of fine cider.
