MadBrunch Halloween Special at Madison

With the amount of monster balls and haunted soirees happening this weekend, choosing which event to go to can be as frightening as Halloween itself. If you love brunch and want to celebrate with something a little bit different however, one of London's best rooftops, Madison, is hosting a grade A Halloween brunch party this Saturday.

MadBrunch is inspired by the whimsical ways of Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter, so expect freakish magicians at every turn, creepy contortionists, and plenty of stilt walkers roaming the sky-high grounds. You'll be greeted with a themed cocktail on arrival, followed by a mouth-watering selection of canapés, including miniature werewolf burgers and pumpkin risotto in witches' hats - all whilst celebrity DJ, Maya Jama, kills it on the decks.
