Hey! Nashy here 👋

I've been on a bit of a mission this week… to hunt down as many spooky, strange, and spectacular things happening in Edinburgh for Halloween 🎃

And somehow ended up with a list of 50+ events running from 31st October to 2nd November.

From 🎻 spooky ceilidhs and 👻 ghost walks to 🕺 wild costume parties, 🥃 whisky tastings, and 🎃 pumpkin trails.
