About the event

🎃 Pictura After Dark: Pumpkin Painting

Paint pumpkins. Make memories. Welcome to Pictura After Dark.

Some of the best nights are the ones where you actually do something together.

This October, gather your favourite people and join us at Pictura for a cosy, creative Halloween night filled with pumpkin painting, music, drinks, laughter and plenty of memories.

We’ll be transforming Pictura for autumn with atmospheric lighting, Halloween details and a studio full of pumpkins ready to be turned into something completely your own.

Whether it’s date night, mate night, a get-together with friends or simply an excuse to spend some proper time together, this is about switching off, having fun and making something you’ll take home and remember the night by.

🎨 Your Pumpkin. Your Style.

There’s no pressure to be “good at art” and no identical pumpkins lined up at the end.

Choose a design from our Pumpkin Inspiration Bar, bring an idea of your own or simply sit down and see where the night takes you.

Go cute. Go gothic. Go ridiculous. Go terrifying.

👻 Ghosts & playful Halloween designs

🦇 Bats & haunted houses

💀 Skulls & horror

🌙 Witches, moons & magical skies

🎃 Classic Halloween

✨ Or completely freestyle it

Our creative team will be around throughout the evening with ideas, techniques and help whenever you need it.

🕯️ An Autumn Night Out With a Difference

We want you to remember the night, not just the pumpkin.

Expect a cosy Halloween atmosphere, music playing, drinks flowing, lots of laughs and those inevitable moments of looking across the table and wondering how two people given exactly the same materials have created something completely different.

Take photos. Have a drink. Paint together. Laugh at each other’s pumpkins. And most importantly, make a memory together.

🏆 The Pumpkin Showdown

At the end of the night, we’ll bring everyone’s creations together for the ultimate pumpkin line-up , with a few prizes up for grabs too.

Then they’re yours to take home, proudly display and remind you of the night you made them.

No experience needed. No pressure to create a masterpiece. Just good people, pumpkins and a really good night.

🎃 Places are limited — when the pumpkins are gone, they’re gone.
