Pumpkin carving is a great Halloween tradition. But if your child isn’t old enough to handle a sharp knife safely you can use pens, stickers, paint or glitter to decorate your pumpkin without making a scratch.

Just search for “no-carve pumpkin ideas” and you’ll find lots of creative ways to transform yours.
We’d love to see your pumpkin creations. Please share them with us.

The £1 meal deal will continue throughout the rest of the week, which is half term in much of the country. There's no minimum spend and no need for an accompanying adult meal. Dishes include chicken nuggets, fish fingers, penne pasta and pizza, and the cold Pick & Mix option, which includes a sandwich, drink, fruit and a sweet treat.

During times of war, dogs served alongside soldiers, carrying messages, detecting dangers, and providing comfort in the most challenging moments. This badge is not just a symbol of remembrance – it’s a tribute to their bravery and unwavering loyalty. Let’s honour their memory together.

Halloween is almost here. Have you decided what your little ones will dress up as yet? Whatever you choose please keep safety in mind.

Remember:
🎃 Halloween costumes can be highly flammable so stay well away from naked flames and other heat sources
🎃 Try to buy from a reputable store or website. Cheap costumes may not meet UK safety standards.
🎃 Look for a costume with a UKCA or CE mark and be aware that cheap costumes may carry fake safety labels.
🎃 Look for a label that says: “This garment has undergone additional safety testing for flammability”.
🎃 Masks are spooktacular but they can make it harder for children to see or hear traffic. So, consider using face paint for trick or treating and save the masks for indoors.
🎃 Help make children more visible to drivers by adding reflective tape to their costumes or accessorising with glow sticks.
