Don’t freak out Battersea, but Halloween is just round the corner. If you’re looking for spooky things to get up to, here’s some ideas.
Eat a scarily good burger
When: All month long
Where: Smok’d, SW11 3JR
Smok’d isn’t just getting dressed up with Halloween decorations for the whole of October. They’ve also dedicated their burger of the month to the scariest day of the year. The ‘El Diablo’ is made up of an aged beef patty, beans, bacon, cheese, chilli tortillas and an avocado salsa… All held within a black charcoal bun. Freakin’ good. On the 27th they’re also putting on a big party where there will be live music and loads of themed cocktails.
Go to this ‘twisted playtime’
When: 28th October
Where: Northcote Records, SW11 1NT
Northcote Records are, of course, putting on a big old party. Twisted Playtime is running until 1am and there’ll be “…frighteningly energetic back to back DJ set that’ll get you doing the monster mash”.
Get creepily creative
When: Ongoing
Where: Pottery Café, SW11 6QB
The Pottery Café have stocked up on loads of new autumnal stamps and colours to keep you creative this season! Why not decorate your own bowl to munch popcorn from whilst watching a scary movie on the 31st?
Get lost…
When: 28th October
Where: Lost Society, SW11 4LS
For one night only, Lost Society is transforming into the Lost Mansion. There’ll be decorations, live music from 7pm and DJs from 9.30pm until 2am. Fancy dress is encouraged and best dressed will get a prize.
See Rylan DJ at this mega party
When: 28th October
Where: Clapham Grand, SW11 1TT
‘Cause when did Clapham Grand ever go ‘small’? Rylan is headlining, there’ll be DJ Tete Bang, drag acts from Black Peppa, Ginger Johnson and Elektra Fence, there’ll be GoGo dancers and loads more spookily good performances.
Eat your pumpkins
When: On going
Where: The Table Café, SW11 1HG
Battersea’s latest brunch spot is cooking up some very seasonal, very delicious pumpkin pancakes. They come topped with coconut yogurt, caramelised pecans and plums and are the perfect brunchy option if you want to gently get into the spirit of things.
Escape reality
When: Ongoing
Where: DNA VR, SW11 8AB
DNA VR is bringing the fright to you with their special Halloween-themed immersive games. Escape the Hospital of Horror or fend off zombies in Arizona Sunshine… whichever you choose it is going to be a hair-raising time!
