Despite the wet weather, more than 30 carved pumpkins arrived at the Lake Pleasure Grounds and surrounded the bandstand on Sunday 29th October with judging taking place once darkness fell at 5.30pm.

The Pavillion Café was open and members of the Warminster Model Boat club were in attendance for a lit up nighttime sail as a spooky atmosphere surrounded the impressive lake.
The event on Sunday, followed a pumpkin trail around Warminster over half term – which was also well received.
