Pumpkin Rescue -

Pumpkin Carving and Cooking

Recycle Devon will be holding a Pumpkin Carving and Cooking workshop for families on Wednesday, October 25, from 10am – 12 noon.

Pumpkins, carving tools and cooking materials will be provided, and, after the children have carved their pumpkin, the insides will be cooked so children can enjoy a taste of soup, pumpkin seeds or a mini pumpkin muffin.

The event is aimed at children aged eight plus along with an adult.

This event is free but a £5 deposit per child needs to be paid when booking and the money will be returned when the session is attended.
