🦇 Something wicked this way comes... and it’s pulling pints! 🎃
Happy Halloween, folks! Whether you’re dressed to thrill or just hiding from ghosts under a blanket, we are open all day as usual down at The Talbot Arms for a spookily sporting, rock-and-roll-filled Saturday. If you dare, here is what’s haunting us today:
🏉 The Spooky Scrum: Benetton v Edinburgh (3:00 pm)
First up on the gogglebox, it’s the gentleman’s game of rugby union. Can Edinburgh make it a frighteningly good 5 wins from 5 on Italian soil? Grab a pint and settle in for the bruising action!
⚽ Cup Clashes & Spectral Punditry: Rangers v Aberdeen (5:30 pm)
At 5:30 pm, we’ve got live coverage of The Gers taking on The Dons in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final. Come for the football, stay for the expert (ahem) in-house punditry courtesy of our regulars—well, the ones who think they're managers, anyway!
🎸 Rocking the Crypt: The Papa Mo Band (8:00 pm)
As the witching hour approaches, things get seriously loud. At 8:00 pm, The Papa Mo Band take over for a proper Halloween shindig! Expect a brilliant night of Classic Rock, Blues, and Ballads. Whether you’re shaking your skeleton to Free, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, and loads more, or just nursing a great drink, it's bound to be an absolute cracker.
👻 Dance like nobody’s watching (even the ghosts in the corner)!
The Details:
Entry: 100% FREE (no tricks, just treats!)
Refreshments: Deliciously cold b**r, w**e, spirits, and a fantastic range of non-alcoholic & soft drinks.
Atmosphere: Warm welcomes, cracking blethers, and our signature dry Scottish sense of humour.
Come for the sport, stay for the tunes, and survive the spooky season with us. See you later! 🍻💀
..And Casper's still missing his brother. It's not too late to put things right!
