We have a busy week planned as he head into Halloween 🎃

MONDAY: Open 3pm until 10pm. It’s Movie Monday where we show a different film every week downstairs in the club on our huge screen. This is completely free, just grab a drink at the bar then head downstairs. Doors open at 7pm, film starts at 7:30pm.

Tonight’s film is Backrooms. A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom, leading to an endless network of interconnected rooms where time bends and the only thing scarier than getting lost is the sense that something is lying in wait.

Make sure you pop in and look at our Halloween decorations this week 🍂🕷️⚰️🩸🕸️🧟💀🎃🧛🏻‍♀️👻

25/10/2026

It’s almost Halloween which we absolutely love here at The Forbidden Fruit. We spend a lot of time, (so far we have spent 20 hours), effort and money putting up our decorations.

It seems we need to remind people that they are decorations that should be admired and not touched.

Last night we had one thing broken and one thing stolen by people that were in. We’re pretty sure they wouldn’t go into a shop and steal something and break things so we’re not sure why they think it’s acceptable in a bar.

We are likely going to finish the decorations on Monday. Please come and have a drink, look at them, take photos and enjoy them. Please do not touch them, steal them and destroy them. 💀🎃👻🧟🧛‍♀️🕷️🍂🕸️⚰️
