The Great Pumpkin Rescue – The First Oxford Pumpkin Festival



In the UK, 2/3 of Halloween pumpkins are thrown into the bin; that’s the equivalent of 18,000 tonnes of pumpkins, the weight of 1,500 double decker buses. The Oxford Pumpkin Festival, organised by HUBBUB, aims to highlight this in a series of events including distributing free pumpkin soup. What’s not to like.
