Looking to transform your home into the ultimate haunted house for the spooky season? Look no further than our pumpkin carving workshop in London. This creative and hands-on workshop will teach you how to carve pumpkins into amazing designs that will give your home that perfect eerie ambience.
Don't worry if you're a beginner, we understand that carving pumpkins can be intimidating. That's why we have a resident artist on hand to guide you through the process. They will provide you with plenty of stencils and tools to explore, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.
During the workshop, you'll get to experience the satisfaction of taking out the insides of the pumpkins and creating holes for the light to leak through. It's a tactile experience that might surprise you with how enjoyable it can be.
And, as a special bonus, there will be a prize for the best pumpkin posted on Instagram. So, make sure to snap a photo of your masterpiece and share it with the world!
By the end of the workshop, you'll not only have learned how to carve pumpkins like a pro, but you'll also have a uniquely crafted decoration to take home and enhance your haunted house. Join us for this unforgettable activity and unleash your inner artist. Get ready to have a blast at our pumpkin carving workshop!
To ensure an uninterrupted and fun workshop for all participants, we kindly request that attendees arrive on time, as late arrivals exceeding a 10-minute delay will be turned away to avoid disruption to the ongoing class and inconvenience to others.

  • 5/5 from Sarah Salter, attended Oct 2025: Really enjoyed this class and the teacher Very informative but also left you to your own devices offering tips and help if needed
  • 5/5 from Eliza W, attended Oct 2025: We had such a good time! Ros was amazing - super friendly and welcoming, it was so lovely chatting to her and getting lots of tips for pumping carving. Best pumpkin I’ve made for sure - super pleased with how they turned out
  • 1/5 from Phoebe Duan, attended Oct 2025: The environment is messy, and there’s almost no guidance — not recommended.
  • 5/5 from Stella, attended Oct 2024: Had the most amazing afternoon!Our instructor showed us how to use the tools and how to try out designs.She was really enthusiastic and kept a nice flow.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2024: Had so much fun pumpkin carving and the instructor, Kai, was so helpful and provided excellent support throughout the entire session. I definitely recommend this workshop!
  • 5/5 from Aaron Ross, attended Oct 2024: Zack was really good. We were running late but he was really welcoming when we arrived, took time to talk us through what to do and even had time to speak to us about our days. Thanks Zack - keep it up brother
  • 5/5 from Shivani Sundar, attended Oct 2024: My tutor Zack was a amazing, he helped us learn the techniques really well.. enjoyed it

  • 5/5 from Luke Kannemeyer, attended Oct 2024: The class was awesome and Lizzies teaching was top notch. 10/10 Will definitely recommend to my mates
  • 2/5 from Marelle Goodlander, attended Oct 2024: I had fun with my friends but there was very little instruction given, no stencils or even design or technique suggestions. They literally just give you a pumpkin, a few carving tools and a room to sit in. Some of the tools were plastic and broke. Could have had the same experience in my living room. We googled pumpkin designs and carved them on our own. I think the price should be more like 10-15 GBP, but 35 is extortionate for what they provide.
  • 5/5 from Chiara Vuolo, attended Oct 2023: Sophie, our teacher, was great! So helpful and nice, lovely to chat with! The class itself was great, had so much fun, it was my first time pumpkin carving and I loved it!
  • 5/5 from Robert, attended Oct 2023: A really fun night! The Staff were helpful and happy :) would love to come back for painting or something else!
  • 5/5 from Qinzi Deng, attended Oct 2023: The class is amazing! Good instructor and facilities to carve your Halloween pumpkin! Defo recommend it.
  • 5/5 from David Moss, attended Oct 2023: Really good fun. Well planned and Sophie was a great instructor, loving our Halloween decor!
  • 5/5 from Claudia Araghrez, attended Oct 2023: Lovely workshop, super clean and equipment provided was great. Sophie was very calm and friendly - would come again
  • 5/5 from Olivia Laherty, attended Oct 2023: Silva was amazing! Really attentive to everyone who was there pumpkin carving, she had great advice and helped wherever she could. Overall the class was amazing and I would definitely do it again.
  • 5/5 from Kanshika Goel, attended Oct 2023: My friend and I had a lot of fun in the pumpkin carving workshop! Our instructor, Jamie was really sweet & helpful. Overall it was a fun experience for Halloween!
  • 5/5 from Patricia Byrne, attended Oct 2023: Excellent teacher, great interactions and guidance. All materials available! Would recommend to everyone! Great evening out
  • 5/5 from Daniela Bozadzhieva, attended Oct 2023: The staff was friendly and helpful! Really fun experience on a Saturday evening with friends
  • 5/5 from Alfie Allen, attended Oct 2023: Great fun! Teacher was very helpful and gave us loads of ideas. Would definitely Recommend if you want something different for you Saturday day/night
  • 5/5 from Carol Bridge, attended Oct 2023: Our teacher was Sophie, she was fantastic. Really helpful and attentive. We had a fun night and would book another class at this venue.
  • 4/5 from Svetlana Savina, attended Oct 2023: We liked the master class, it was interesting and pleasant. I would just like to have more opportunities to choose a pumpkin. We liked the teacher, a very nice girl. I understand that we are given space for creativity, but maybe I would like a few more hints and observations at the very beginning, since it was scary to make a mistake (for example, to cut off the top of a pumpkin wrong).
  • 5/5 from Kerry Sze, attended Oct 2022: There was a slight hiccup at the beginning as we had the wrong address(!), but on arrival we had a great time with lovely teachers who were clearly experts with pumpkins! The kids loved it so much.
  • 5/5 from Valeriya Batra-Kirsey, attended Oct 2022: Brilliant workshop - perfect balance between useful tips and assistance from the instructors and free creativity! Wonderful team supervising the workshop and great spacious location in the Old Spitalfields Market. We will definitely come back again!
  • 5/5 from Tanvi Akkaraju, attended Oct 2022: It was a great experience. All the tools were provided and they even had cutters and stencils. I had a really nice time and I would highly recommend this experience to people
  • 3/5 from Natalia Georgiou, attended Oct 2022: I expected more from this class for some reason! We arrived and were just given a pumpkin and thats it. All tools laid out on table but no intro, no creative guidance, tips, tricks, or much interaction from any of the leaders. I guess i’m surprised the £17 was just to be given a pumpkin and thats it! I think to improve - a free glass of bubbly upon entry or some proper cool pumpkin carving tricks to learn something would have been a nice touch.
