Whether you’re an expert pumpkin carver or just having some fun, we would love to see your entry – the more creative the better! The winner will receive a luxury Food & Drink Hamper, perfect for sharing with your fellow carving team or indulging in yourself! Carved pumpkins are to be dropped at Suffolk Food Hall between 9am 29th – 12pm 30th October.

Come along to our Pumpkin Night Event on 30th October 4pm – 6pm and vote for your favourite carved pumpkin! All carved pumpkins will be on display outside in a magically lit setting for you to cast your vote. Entry is £2.50 per person. What to expect at the event:

  • Marshmellow Toasting

Votes will be counted and the Winner will be announced on the night. Can’t attend the event? No problem, if you’re not present at the Pumpkin Night we will call you the following day if you are our winner.
