What an amazing Halloween afternoon!

Nearly 20 kids (and their families) joined us for a fun-filled day of pumpkin picking, carving, and Halloween games.

At 3 pm, families ventured into the “spooky garden” to select pumpkins, ready to be transformed into creepy lanterns. With a mix of cookie cutters, some serious hammering, and a lot of imagination, our pumpkins turned into spooky masterpieces. The carving process was messy, creative, and a blast for all ages!

As the pumpkins took shape, we served up refreshments, and each family received a special bag with a pumpkin soup recipe and ingredients — including sweet potato, carrot, onion, and stock — so they could make delicious pumpkin soup at home. The star ingredient? Their very own carved pumpkin! We also served a big pot of pumpkin soup for everyone to enjoy, thanks to Baynes the Baker for supplying the rolls! 🥖

After dark, the kids returned to the “spooky garden” to see their creations glow. Glo-sticks and tealights lit up each lantern, adding a magical touch to an unforgettable evening. Everyone took their pumpkins home, ready to shine on Halloween night! ✨

Thanks to all the families who joined, and happy Halloween! 🎃🕸
