Halloween is just around the corner, witches and wizards, but don’t worry – that doesn’t mean all the events this month are spooky and ghoulish. We’re in for another fun-filled month this October, with anything from dinner under the sparkling night sky to thought-provoking theatre, a tantalising tattoo expo, and more. Here’s a quick look at 7 of our top picks this month!
1. Dining Under the Stars at The Corinthia, St. Julian’s (Until 2nd November)
Looking for the right place for your next romantic night out? Head over to Broadside Terrace, a gorgeous open-air kitchen where you can watch the chef prepare dish after delicious dish on an authentic wood-chip grill. The best part? You can enjoy a fiery Maltese sunset or a magical night sky as you wine and dine the night away.

2. Skylight at the University of Malta Valletta Campus (6th – 8th October)
Described as ‘the play of the decade’, Skylight is a 1995 socio-political play written by award-winner, David Hare, with the MADC’s rendition artfully directed by Andre Agius. If you’re in the mood for a simple yet profound narrative filled with stark truths, passion, and power, then this is one you can’t miss.
