Simon McMinnis
Halloween Pumpkin Sculpting Event
Get into the Halloween spirit this October at our free pumpkin carving event. Award-winning pumpkin sculptor Simon McMinnis is back to showcase his spooktacular skills in our outdoor plant area on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th October. From creepy ghouls to cute cartoon characters, Simon produces incredibly detailed carvings in all shapes and sizes. Some of the faces he has replicated include Lord Voldermort, Frankenstein, a Minion and even Peppa Pig! The Lancashire-based artist will also be sharing top tips and answering questions during the fun interactive experience. Blue Diamond Group Events Manager Rebecca Gurnett says: “Simon is always a firm family favourite at Barton Grange. It’s incredible how he can transform a humble pumpkin into a stunning and unique artwork. Hopefully the event will inspire everyone to get a little more ambitious with their own pumpkins!”
