It\u2019s time to get into the Halloween spirit, and where better to get up to some Halloween hi-jinks than in your garden, out in the elements? We love Halloween here at Savoy Timber<\/a><\/strong>, so much so that we\u2019ve devised a list of Halloween themed activities that you can do to get the whole family together during the spooky season. Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n

\"pumpkin<\/h2>\n

Pumpkin carving<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all done this at some point or another, it\u2019s an absolute classic! Pumpkin carving is the ultimate Halloween leisure activity, it\u2019s fun, creative, and it\u2019s something that everyone can get involved with regardless of age. You\u2019ll need a few bits to get started: plenty of newspaper, a small knife, and something to scoop the insides of the pumpkin out. Simple!<\/p>\n

Start by cutting a hole around the stem of the pumpkin, ensuring it\u2019s big enough to fit hands through! From here, scoop out all the insides out (this is a great task for young children and toddlers, as it\u2019s messy!), then start carving. The possibilities are endless when it comes to pumpkin carving, and if you or another member of your family makes a mess of it, no problem. Let\u2019s be honest, you can always patch it up with some masking tape and pass it off as a mummy.<\/p>\n

\"apple-bobbing\"<\/h2>\n

Apple bobbing<\/h2>\n

Another Halloween classic that\u2019s great fun for all the family, apple bobbing has been a staple of entertainment since Celtic times, probably because it\u2019s really easy to set-up. Simply fill a bucket or tub with water and drop in a bag full of apples, and you\u2019re good to go! The aim of the game is to dunk your head in the tub and catch one of the apples with your teeth, without using your hands! The winner is the person who catches the most apples in their mouth.<\/p>\n

Make your garden a bat haven!<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a fun fact – there are 17 different species of bats found in Britain, and they\u2019re an animal we commonly associate with dark, scary locations and vampires. So, given the dark and creepy aura that surrounds these winged rodents, what better time is there to celebrate them than Halloween? Wrap up warm and take a seat in the garden one night and see if you can spot some. If you\u2019re not having much luck, they\u2019re quite common in more rural areas of the UK, so head out for a walk in the woods if you dare!<\/p>\n

If the nighttime walk through the woods isn\u2019t quite for you (understandable) then there are more than a couple of ways of celebrating bats from the safety of your own home. Why not consider building a small bat box? Very similar to a bird box, if you\u2019re handy, this could be a fun activity for you to do with your kids (with plenty of supervision of course). If not, you can always purchase one from a garden centre or online.<\/p>\n

Of course, these are just a few suggestions for you to consider. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ve got your own thoughts on what makes for the perfect Halloween evening, so feel free to add these to your list!
