"Everyone calls me the pumpkin man everywhere. Everywhere I go, it’s the pumpkin man. Kids love it. Yeah, they’re just astounded, they can’t believe that anybody can do this kind of thing. You just tell them to have a go, just try it and have some fun with it, do you know what I mean?"

4. Patel demonstrating how he carves his pumpkins SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Patel, Pumpkin Sculptor:
"So, basically, I just peel the skin off, all the way around, a nice shape, and then (pointing to the face’s right eye) I dig in there for the shape of the eye, and the shape of the nose, scoop it out, the shape of the mouth, don’t worry about the teeth you can do that later, but just get the shape, and then smooth it all off, nice and gentle like this, and start getting in the creases in the eyes and all the other fine details with other tools. There’s plenty of other tools, loop tools that you can buy on the Amazon (online shopping)."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) James Ludlam, farmer at Cattows Farm:
"So, this year we were hoping to grow in the region of around about a million pumpkins, squashes, ornamental gourds and they’re grown right across the farm, including the field where we’re stood right now. Obviously, the standard traditional carving pumpkins are here where we are and they’re for pick your own. All of the other ornamental items, the squashes etc, they get harvested from other fields and then we put them on displays where people can buy them from to decorate their homes."
9. Various of picked pumpkins placed in field
10. SOUNDBITE (English) James Ludlam, farmer at Cattows Farm:
"Well obviously pumpkins are great, they’ve got such bold colour and carving scary faces into them is relatively easy compared to historically in the 1600s, the tradition actually developed in Ireland where people would carve scary faces into turnips, but if you’ve ever tried to do that, it’s quite difficult to carve a turnip. They’re not very big and pumpkins are obviously a lot easier to do and a lot more fun."

Carl: "I think it’s better than Christmas, isn’t it?"
Tayla: "Yeah it is in our house, so we decorate the house. We like making decorations, don’t we."
Ezria: "We made Halloween cookies"
Tayla: "Yeah, we’ve made Halloween cookies, and we get married next year on Halloween, so that’s how important the day is for us."
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Martin (beside his son, Jack):
"We just thought we’d come out, collect some pumpkins. The kids are looking forward to carving them. So yeah, we’ll take them home, carve them, ready for Halloween, put them on the doorstep."
