A popular autumn festival is returning for another year in a Suffolk village and promises pumpkin fun galore.

The Westhall Apple and Pumpkin Festival will take place on the green at the Westhall village hall on Wangford Road on Saturday, October 5. 

It will be the eighth festival of its kind.

The fun-filled day will include a tractor display, tractor pulling, a whack-the-rat game and pumpkin-themed bowling courtesy of Brampton Bowls Club.

Attendees will be able to try traditional welly wanging, a tombola and a ping-pong ball-in-the-jar, along with other games for both children and adults to enjoy.

Kim Hoare, one of the founders of the event, said: “We are very excited”.

She said “hundreds of people” came last year.

“We hope this year it will be the same,” she added.

Clark’s Orchard will be providing apples, produce will be from nearby Brimwood Farm, and Bungay’s Pete the Baker will be selling “real bread”.

Glitter & Glitz are also expected to return for face painting and temporary tattoos and music will be provided by The Kitchen Band. 

Inside the village hall there will be an array of new and returning craft stalls “with something to appeal to everyone”.

There will also be a display of artwork from youngsters at local schools.

Returning visitors can expect to see some new stalls this year including a local produce stall that will showcase a range of chutneys, jams, and other goods. 

The stall will be helping to raise funds for the Grade I listed St Andrews Church. 

The church team will be providing tea and refreshments in the afternoon, and the Racehorse Pub is open next door.

Everyone is welcome to the free community event. 

The event will start at 2pm.
