Pumpkin Display

NEW FOR 2024 - Get creative this Halloween with our Family Pumpkin Carving Contest!

We're inviting families to unleash their creativity this Halloween with a fun-filled pumpkin carving contest. In addition, we will be creating a display in our amphitheatre with all the pumpkins!

Carve at Home or at the Centre

Participants can carve their pumpkins from the comfort of their own homes and drop them off at the Tourist Information Centre by Wednesday, October 30th. Alternatively, families can visit the centre on Monday 28th, Tuesday 29th or Wednesday 30th October for a pop-up carving craft station. Pumpkins and carving kits will be available for purchase during these days, making it a convenient and mess-free experience.

Prizes and Display

All pumpkins will be judged, and one lucky entrant will receive a £50 gift card to spend at Affinity Devon. Additionally, their school will receive a £250 prize! The carved pumpkins will be displayed in the Amphitheatre until Sunday, November 3rd, providing a picturesque backdrop for memorable family photos.

Terms and Conditions

Pumpkins will be available for purchase while supplies last, and one pumpkin entry is allowed per child.
