The Pumpkin Spectacular is back for it's 3rd year! This event is free to attend and no booking is required. This event takes place in the Catacombs Circle in Warstone Lane Cemetery.

How to get involved
1. Bring a pumpkin to add to the display
Don't have a pumpkin? Come along from 4pm til 5.30pm and carve one of ours! £2 per pumpkin including use of our carving tools and templates.

2. See the pumpkin display lit up. We'll make sure all the candles are lit by 6pm when the sun starts to set.

3. Enjoy the display, visit our stall holders and take part in activities like badge making with Sustrans and bat detecting with Sustainable Life.

4. Take your pumpkin home at the end or leave it with us - all pumpkins will be repurposed or composted.

Don't fancy carving a pumpkin? You are still welcome to attend and view the pumpkins!

This event ends after sunset and the cemetery has no street lighting. Although we will be lighting the event spaces and main pathways, we suggest that visitors may wish to bring a torch. ...

We couldn't have done it without everyone's help, including loads of support behind the scenes from @bhamcitycouncil @coffin_works @thehivejq and all the amazing #JQHeritageSquad volunteers.

Now we need to sleep for a week but then we'll be buzzing with ideas for 2023! ...
