Add a stalk, create texture and experiment with different decorative details to give your pumpkin its own personality. Whether you prefer a traditional autumn look or something a little more playful, the design is entirely up to you.

This is an adults-only BYOB evening, so you're welcome to bring along your favourite drink, whether that's a glass of wine, something fizzy or a nice cup of tea.

Settle in, enjoy the company and let yourself get a little lost in the making.
