Halloween Half-Term at Peterborough

Spooky Half Term at Ink & Ember, Peterborough! 🎃👻

This half term, our Queensgate store is getting deliciously spooky! From 26th–31st October, we're running a week of Halloween craft and story sessions for bookworms and budding creatives — think ceramic pumpkin painting, ghostly crafts, cosy colouring with cookies and coffee, fortune tellers, and spine-tingling storytelling for all ages. Whether you're after a quiet creative morning or a fang-tastic afternoon out, there's something for everyone. Spaces are limited, so grab your tickets and come craft, create and get cosy with us this Halloween!
