Pumpkin Carving Competition

Our spooktacular Pumpkin Carving Competition is back and will be taking place throughout the month of October, with last entries on Friday, 31st October.

The competition is open to anyone and everyone and is a fantastic way to test your “creepy” creative skills whilst supporting your local hospice.

This year, we have two spooky age categories!

Ages 0–10:
Download our pumpkin templates, choose one you like and decorate it however you like -glitter, paint, pencils, stickers… the creepier, the better! We can’t wait to see how you bring your pumpkin to life.

Ages 11+ (including mums, dads & big kids at heart!):
You can use our downloadable templates or show off your creative carving skills on a real pumpkin. Go wild with your spooky designs-we want to see your most frightful creations!

Once your creations are complete, snap a photo and upload them using the form below.

We are asking for a minimum donation of £2 per entry to be in with a chance of winning a freakishly fabulous fun hamper or a fang-tastic family ticket to the pantomime, kindly donated by futureyard
