Hop-tu-Naa Drinks This Weekend
Hop-tu-Naa is that time of year where you can blast out your old costumes, scare the kids to hell with ghost stories, get drunk on ‘Punch’, consume copious amounts of apples covered in toffee, because why not? Ow, and eat a load of sweets that are meant to be for the trick or treaters (whether they’ve been to your house yet or not to sing Jinny the Witch). Whether you hate this time of the year or love it, you cannot escape, so embrace it in all its beauty.If Trick-or-Treating really isn’t for you, we’ve compiled a list of things for you to do this Hop-tu-Naa weekend, you know like places to go and not get drunk……
