Halloween is Saturday 31 October, and string lights are the easiest way to make a window, porch or party table look the part. Which pumpkin and Halloween fairy lights should you buy on amazon.co.uk?
The short answer: battery string lights with AA packs go anywhere without a socket. Pick pumpkin lights for a classic look, a mixed pumpkin, ghost and spider string for variety, or warm white copper wire lights you can reuse at Christmas.
