A pub in Leeds is hosting a murder mystery dinner this Halloween and it sounds just the thing for foodies who love to get a little spooky and play detective.
The Mustard Pot pub in Chapel Allerton is known for its delicious food and cask ales, attracting foodies across Leeds for an afternoon or evening soaking up the country chic vibes of this impressive Georgian-style spot.
But it's also known for another, spookier reason, as locals say it is haunted by not one but two ghosts. Supposedly, one resides behind the bar whilst another likes to hang about in the ladies' bathroom.
Multiple sightings have been reported of a woman in a long dress sweeping about the pub, and another person reported seeing someone in 'old fashioned clothes' behind its bar - which is not old itself, but rather a new extension.
All of this makes it the perfect location for a little Halloween dining if you ask us.
To kick off the Halloween weekend, the pub's owners have announced they'll be hosting a special murder mystery dinner here on Friday 29 October.
Serving up a three-course dinner as part of the murder mystery event, diners will immerse themselves in a fantasy world for the night as they attend the pub in honour of a film launch.
Invited to the pub to celebrate the success of fictional character Rod Cuer's latest blockbusting moving, the Little House of Horrors, whilst there a murder takes place - and it will land to you and your fellow diners to help solve the crime and apprehend the murder in time before they escape into the night.
Taking place from 7 pm, guests are invited to "dress for dinner or dress to scare."
Announcing the dinner on their Instagram page, the pub said:
"Tonight is party night.
"You are all invited to the pub to celebrate the success of Rod Cuer's latest blockbusting movie: Little House of Horrors.
"Hopefully with your help the crime can be solved and the murdered apprehended. "
Tickets for the event are priced at £40 per person, which includes your three-course meal and murder mystery experience. There will be a prize for the best-dressed table.
The UK Aids Memorial Quilt is set to go on display across Wakefield this summer.
The quilt - consisting of 42 quilts and 23 individual panels, representing over 384 individuals affected by HIV and AIDS - will go on display at WX Wakefield from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 June 2026.
All 42 quilts will be on display, with WX working in partnership with the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Conservation Partnership.
Across the same weekend, selected individual panels will be displayed at different venues across the city including The Hepworth Wakefield, The Art House Wakefield, Theatre Royal Wakefield, Pontefract Castle and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Part of the world’s largest community art project, this is a huge opportunity for the city of Wakefield. The project started in the USA back in 1985 by activist Cleve Jones, commemorating friends, family and loved ones lost to AIDS.
Individual panels were then stitched together to create larger quilts, which were shown outdoors as a form of protest to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Today, the quilt stands as a crucial reminder of those who were lost and of the continuing affect that HIV and AIDS has on the people of today.
At WX Wakefield, viewing the quilt is completely free and on Friday 5 June there will be a special late night opening up until 10:30pm to view the exhibition.
And on Saturday 6 June at 2:30pm, there will be a very special and poignant reading of the names of those commemorated on the quilt.

Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
