It’s Halloween! EN Coxhead Halloween Pumpkins – they’re spookily good!
Halloween offers a chance to celebrate the season’s spirit – and there’s no better way to do that than with Halloween pumpkins from EN Coxhead. Grown with care on our Lancashire farm, our pumpkins are perfect for carving and decorating.
A timeless Halloween tradition
The custom of carving lanterns dates back centuries. In Britain and Ireland people once carved turnips and swedes to ward off wandering spirits. Over time pumpkins became the preferred choice – larger, easier to carve and wonderfully vibrant. Today, pumpkins remain at the heart of seasonal celebrations, bringing warmth and creativity to homes and gardens across the UK.

Tips for carving your Halloween pumpkins
- Pick the perfect pumpkin – Choose one that feels firm, with a flat base so it stands securely.
- Prepare it properly – Cut around the stem to make a lid, scoop out the seeds and smooth the inner walls.
- Sketch before you carve – Draw your design with a marker to guide your cuts.
- Carve carefully – Use small, precise tools and take your time.
- Light it up – Add a tea-light or LED to let your design glow safely through the night.
