Things to do for Halloween this weekend in Bristol
1. Avon Valley Pumpkin Patch
Avon Valley Pumpkin Patch has opened up with its authentic ‘pick your own’ patch bursting with thousands of pumpkins in every colour, shape and size. That’s only the beginning, though, with everything from roaming characters and fiery performances to quirky autumn games like apple cannons, pumpkin paintball and slingshots.
But it’s not just for kids! This dog-friendly experience features its own pop-up pub, The Pumpkin & Firkin, which serves warming drinks and seasonal treats. Additionally, when the sun sets, from Friday, October 3, the pumpkin patch transforms into a glowing wonderland of fairy lights, lanterns, and illuminated pumpkins for Pumpkin Patch Nights.

5. Starter for Ten
After last year’s record-breaking run, Starter for Ten is back at the Bristol Old Vic (September 10 to October 11). This Bristol-based, coming-of-age comedy musical is all about love, class and the legendary British quiz show ‘University Challenge’. Set in the 1980s, the new musical features an original soundtrack inspired by the riotous student scene of the era – composed by queer, pop-punk composers Tom Rasmussen and Hatty Carman.
