Pumpkin Carving Fun at Warrington Time Square with Sand In Your Eye!

By October 26, 2024November 27th, 2024No Comments

On October 25th, Sand In Your Eye brought a spooky touch of Halloween magic to Warrington Time Square with a live pumpkin carving event and hands-on workshops, all thanks to Warrington City Council! Children and their families, stopped by to see our skilled team in action and try their hand at creating their own pumpkin masterpieces.

Live Pumpkin Carving: A Werewolf-Inspired Masterpiece

Our talented artist Peter took center stage with a pumpkin live carve demonstration, of a werewolf visitors stopped to watch as he transformed a pumpkin into a howling monster masterpiece! With imagination and creativity, Peter brought the ghoulish pumpkin to life with details that resembled a wolf, complete with individually carved snarling pumpkin teeth.

Hands-On Pumpkin Workshops with Dan and Claire

Alongside the pumpkin live carve, visitors of all ages had the chance to roll up their sleeves and get carving themselves! Guided by our expert carvers Dan and Claire, participants learned techniques to turn their pumpkins into unique creations. With step-by-step support, Dan and Claire helped guests experiment with designs, from classic spooky faces to creative, toothy monsters.

The workshops were a hit, with families working together to carve out their perfect pumpkins. It was great to see people, especially kids, embracing their creativity and trying something new. Some participants created traditional jack-o’-lanterns, while others pushed their spooky boundaries and skills to include pumpkin etching and even adding extra pumpkin pieces using toothpicks, to master their monster creations.

Bringing the Community Together in Warrington

Warrington Time Square was busy with parents, kids, friends, and even passersby who stopped to watch, ask questions, and join in on the Halloween fun.

We’d like to extend a big thank you to Warrington City Council for inviting us to bring this Halloween magic to the heart of Warrington. It was an incredible day, and we loved seeing so many smiling faces, happy pumpkins, and budding pumpkin artists! Pumpkin Carving Fun at Warrington Time Square with Sand In Your Eye!

"From carved pumpkins depicting beheaded Tudor royals to a realistic but giant castle sand sculpture, the Sand In Your Eye team have been brilliant at making our outlandish dreams a reality. Every request and idea is met with an open mind and they are buzzing with artistic ideas – we love working with the team because it feels like a partnership to create something special. Not only this but they are also reliable and dedicated, and we look forward to working with them again in the future."

"It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Sand In Your Eye over the last two years. Together we’ve created a 60 metre sand portrait , a giant tennis ball mosaic at Wimbledon and a huge mud toilet sculpture at Glastonbury, all of which have helped us secure high quality media coverage for our campaigns. Working to the highest ethical and environmental standards, Sand In Your Eye go above and beyond to problem-solve and create unique activations that help WaterAid to reach new audiences. I look forward to more collaborations in future."

"We were delighted with the outcome of our climate-themed Coal and Ice event at Woodhorn Museum. The Ice Trail looked stunning, with visitors really connecting with the poignancy of seeing beautifully carved endangered animals slowly begin to melt away. Throughout the project, the Sand in Your Eye team were enthusiastic, professional, collaborative and full of brilliant creative ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Sand in Your Eye again and would highly recommend them to others."
