Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin Carving is happening at the Old Bowls Pavilion in Boultham Park on Friday 29 October, from 10:00 to 11:30. It's one of the Halloween activities running at the pavilion this year, so if you're already planning a few things around the park for the season, this fits right in.

The session is exactly what it says on the tin: you get a pumpkin and spend the morning carving it into whatever you fancy. It's a proper hands-on thing, and since it runs for an hour and a half, there's plenty of time to take your time with the details rather than rushing it. It's the kind of activity that works just as well as a family outing as it does a morning out with friends, and because it's in the pavilion, you're tucked away inside rather than out in the elements.

The Old Bowls Pavilion sits within Boultham Park, on Rookery Lane, Lincoln, LN6 7PH. It's a well-known spot in the park, so it's easy enough to find once you're in. The session runs from 10:00 to 11:30, which means you're done and away by lunchtime, leaving the rest of your Friday free. It costs £4.50 per person.
