Annual Pumpkin Competition Launched
WINNER: An amazing entry from the Livesley Family last year.
We are encouraging people to sharpen their knives for Halloween – with the launch of our annual pumpkin carving competition.
Following an incredible response to the inaugural event last year, The Farm Burscough, is once again asking artistic vegetable fans to come up with their best design.
Children, big and small, are being encouraged to carve their most scary and creative Halloween pumpkins to stand a chance of a selection of prizes from the farm – including a family meal for four.
To stand a chance of winning you simply need to bring along your carved pumpkins to The Farm Burscough, on Martin Lane, Burscough, between Monday, October 24, and Sunday, October 30, for judging to take place.
The designs will be judged in age categories and then an overall winner and second place will be selected on Halloween, October 31.

Cathy Grice, of the Farm Burscough, said: “We had an amazing variety of designs last year with some very detailed carvings. The entries were so impressive that we decided to make this an annual competition.
“It started off as a bit of fun and we had a go at making our own spooky designs using our own home-grown pumpkins. But there seems to be a particular talent for pumpkin carving in West Lancashire and many of our customer put us to shame – so we are hoping for another fine crop of entries this year!
“There are some great recipes using pumpkins so you can have great fun carving and also end up with a tasty treat as well!”
