With the spookiest night of the year fast approaching, get Halloween ready with Joyce’s Supermarket and enjoy some traditional Halloween festivities perfect for the whole family.
Pumpkin spice things up and carve out some time for fun this Halloween with the range of pumpkins available at Joyce’s. This fun tradition has long been a staple of a typical Irish Halloween and is the perfect activity for the whole family to enjoy together. Pumpkin carving originated in Ireland under the term Jack-o-Lantern, stemming from the Irish myth of ‘Stingy Jack’, in which people would carve faces in turnips or pumpkins to scare away the wandering soul of Jack who was sentenced to roam earth for eternity.
Of course, Halloween would not be complete without enjoying a slice of barmbrack after the festivities of trick or treating and pumpkin carving. This traditional brack has been a central part of Irish Halloween throughout the ages. A typical barmbrack is a sweet bread made with sultanas and raisins, with a ring placed within it to symbolise good fortune to the lucky person who finds it. Pick up a Joyce’s Halloween brack today or try one of the freshly baked bracks in selected stores.
Wind down the night by playing a fun Halloween game, sure to keep the children entertained. Apple bobbing is one of the most loved Halloween games. All you need is some fresh apples, available your local Joyce’s Supermarket, and a basin full of water. Place the apples in the water and try to catch them with your teeth. This game is so simple to set up yet guaranteed to create a lot of laughs.
