🎟️ Booking Information
Advance booking is required.
Last booking date: 24 October, or earlier if your chosen session sells out.
As pumpkins and materials are purchased and prepared in advance, tickets are non-refundable once booked.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your session and meet us at Cotall Street Market. The exact boat location and meeting instructions will be sent to you via email before the event.
⚠️ Safety
A short safety demonstration will be provided before each workshop.
Pumpkin carving involves sharp tools, so all participants must follow the safety guidance provided during the session.
For the 4pm family session, carving tools are strictly for adult use only. Children will paint and decorate their own small pumpkins without using carving tools and must remain supervised by their accompanying adult throughout the workshop.
As the workshop takes place on a boat, please take extra care when entering, leaving and moving around the space and follow all venue and workshop safety instructions.
♿ Accessibility
Please be aware that access to the boat involves steps.
If you or your child have accessibility requirements or concerns about accessing the boat, please contact us before booking so we can provide further information.
📸 Photography
We may take photographs during the workshop to capture the Halloween celebrations and share highlights on Peach & Peony's website and social media.
We will ask for permission before photographing participants. For children, permission will be requested from their parent or responsible adult.
If you or your child would prefer not to be photographed, simply let us know. This will not affect your participation.
We can't wait to welcome you aboard for a spooky afternoon of pumpkin fun!
