Autumn Pumpkin Festival October 9, 2010

An afternoon of Autumnal fun for all the family. This year we welcome Hampshire County Council's DAISY BUS to our event with all kinds of Autumnal activities to keep you occupied all afternoon.


Pumpkin Soup will definitely be on the menu as we have as our special guest, prizewinning children's author and illustrator Helen Cooper (Pumpkin Soup and Pipkin of pepper) 'Pumpkins on a Pedestal' - 'Squashes on a stage'.


All things 'big and orange' (Pumpkins of all shapes and sizes) will be paraded, celebrated and serenaded along with the very best of Autumnal treats, food and drink, all wrapped up in a cornucopia of seasonal celebration at the Autumn Pumpkin Festival.


Big Draw informal art workshops, face painting, pumpkin games and of course pumpkins and squashes of all shapes and sizes, maybe even a new European record to beat the 1,457lber we had a couple of years ago! Seasonal Craft stalls and Hampshire Fare food stalls. The charity 'The Jubilee Sailing Trust'


Adults £1.50, children 50p (Normal car park charges apply). Bring a Scarecrow, for our popular Scarecrow Avenue to sit on the straw bales and stand amongst the cornstalks. *New for this year* An Autumn themed hat competition for adults and children plus a Scarecrow Fancy dress competition for children.
