Annual Halloween pumpkin parade with a pumpkin carving competition, craft activities and a bat hunt at Spencer Park.
The Pumpkin Parade returns to Spencer Park on Saturday 31 October, from 2pm to 4.30pm. It's the annual Halloween celebration run by the Friends of Spencer Park, the registered charity (No. 1176323) that looks after the ground. They put this on every year to mark the season, and the funds they raise from it and their other events throughout the year go back into supporting the park's future.
The main thing to bring is your own pumpkin, because there's a carving competition running across four age categories. If you're coming in fancy dress, there's a prize for that too. Around the competition, the afternoon fills out with craft activities and a bat hunt for the kids to get stuck into, so it's a good one to bring the whole family along to.

When you need a break from the carving and the hunting, the Community Café will be open serving hot dogs, soup, cakes and refreshments. It's a free event, and it's open to all ages, so it works whether you're coming with a pram or a group of teenagers. The whole thing runs from 2pm to 4.30pm at Spencer Park, Spencer Recreation Ground, Spencer Avenue, Coventry CV5 6NP.
