Many of our favourite Halloween activities will not be the same this year (bobbing for apples, anyone?). It’s time to get creative and spend some spooky time with our loved ones at home or in small groups. Here are 7 fun and festive ideas to try (and taste!) this year at home. If you’ve already carved a pumpkin and roasted some seeds, and thought “Now what?” then this list is for you!
