Halloween is nearly here – and The Crafty Beanie in Saffron Walden is brewing up something truly magical! If you’re looking for family-friendly Halloween fun in Essex, our Halloween craft workshops are the perfect way to get into the spooky spirit. From potion bottles to pumpkin characters, our sessions are designed for all ages – whether you’re a mini monster, a crafty grown-up, or simply love getting creative.
We’ve got something for everyone this October – from quick 1-hour makes to full-day creative adventures. All workshops take place in our bright and welcoming craft studio at 13 Market Row, Saffron Walden, just a short walk from the Common.
🏚️ All-Day Halloween Workshop (10am – 3pm)
For the ultimate crafty day out, join us for our All-Day Halloween Workshop. Little ghouls and goblins will create:
A spooky Haunted Mansion craft
Creepy clay ghosts to take home
Magical Potion Bottles (perfect for witches and wizards!)
Children bring a packed lunch, and we’ll provide all the materials and guidance. A full day of fun, laughter, and creative memories!
👣 Halloween Keepsakes (1 hour, 10am – 11am)
Capture a moment in time with our adorable Halloween handprint and footprint keepsake frames. These make perfect gifts for parents, grandparents, or simply as a way to remember how tiny those little hands and feet once were. Cute, personal, and totally spooktacular!
🕯️ Spooky Jar Lanterns & Ghost Magnets (2 hours, 2pm – 4pm)
Transform simple jars into glowing Halloween lanterns – from ghostly faces to black cats and pumpkins. Add a fingerprint ghost magnet to your collection and you’ll have two handmade crafts to treasure.
🎃 Pumpkin Characters (1 hour, 10:30am – 11:30am)
Paint and decorate your very own pumpkin character – will yours be a black cat, a mummy, or even a unicorn pumpkin? This session is perfect for all ages and makes a great no-mess alternative to traditional pumpkin carving.
🕸️ Halloween Dreamcatchers (1 hour, 2pm – 3pm)
Weave your very own Halloween dreamcatcher, complete with spooky spiders, webs, and pom-pom details. A brilliant craft for slightly older children who love getting creative with string, beads, and design.
