Pumpkin Carving Competition

Saturday 22nd October 2011


Where it all began for us here at Tulleys - Pumpkins & Jack-o-lanterns

Selling pumpkins at Tulleys Farm Shop was made much more fun when we started the Pumpkin Carving Competition in 1990's. Since then it has run every year, with both simple and elaborate designs making it a firm favourite for generations. Indeed some parents that have helped their children in recent years were themselve carving pumpkins at Tulleys Halloween Festivals many years ago!
