Alvechurch’s first Pumpkin Festival took place in the Village Hall on Saturday 28th October. It was a great success, with about 100 pumpkins of various types (home grown, carved, craft) on display and pumpkin-themed food and cakes were on sale in the small meeting room. More than 300 people visited the Hall during the day, and over £900 was raised for the Village Hall and our chosen charity, Papyrus. Thanks to everyone who contributed a pumpkin, who helped out on the day, and in particular to our wonderful and hard-working Pumpkin Committee! Plans are already underway to repeat the event next year. You can see a gallery of photos from the day below.
