Halloween is right around the corner and to celebrate Ladbrokes, a leading UK bingo company, has commissioned a leading artist to carve a selection of special bingo-inspired pumpkins along with along with some easy-to-use Halloween themed stencils.

With major companies like Starbucks moving in on pumpkin mania with drinks like their spiced latte and the growing popularity of vampire and horror related TV shows like Vampire Diaries and American Horror Story, UK adults and families are taking more and more of an interest in Halloween.
Pumpkin carving is the most simple to do and the easiest to get your hands on. According to Mintel, retail sales of Halloween products in the UK are expected to reach £240m this year, a 4pc growth from last year’s £230m. Whether you’re demonstrating your own artist flare or nurturing your children’s, pumpkins are one of the easiest ways to partake in the Halloween spirit.
