River Dart Country Park looking to break world record for longest line of carved pumpkins

9th October 2019

Categories: Visitor News

Visitor attraction and campsite River Dart Country Park in Ashburton, Devon are attempting to break a world record this October half term.

The team are looking to smash the world record for the longest line of carved pumpkins, which currently stands at 3975. The previous record was achieved by the City of Richland Center in Wisconsin, USA, on 30 October 2016.

Taking place at River Dart Country Park from 19th October – 31st October, the team are welcoming volunteers from groups, clubs and charities to join in and help achieve the Halloween themed record. If you’re part of a group, club or charity and would like to get involved, call 01364 652511 for details.

We’d love you to join us!
