The Maxwell Centre will be creating soup and muffins from unwanted pumpkins to help inspire the Coldside community to eat their pumpkins and reduce the number that end up in the bin this Halloween. The event is one of more than 100 taking place across the country to support Hubbub’s #EatYourPumpkin campaign which this year is calling on Halloween lovers to ditch the knife and give decorating a go. Over 9,000 people attended events in 2023. By switching pumpkin carving to decorating, the charity hopes that even more pumpkins will be eaten this Halloween. The Pumpkin Party will take place on Thursday 31st October from 3.30 – 5pm and everyone is welcome! By making soup & pudding for the party we really hope to inspire local residents to eat their pumpkins this year and help make this delicious food go further. You can get an average of six meals out of a pumpkin and they make a great addition to a soup or curry and taste fantastic with a wide range of flavours including ginger, chilli and sage.
