PLANS are already under way to hold an autumnal festival celebrating the humble pumpkin.
The fifth annual Oxford Pumpkin Festival will be held in October and organisers need people to get involved.
Billed as a celebration of food, the festival is intended to teach people new skills and think about what they are throwing away.
Good Food Oxford has grants of £50 for groups wishing to hold an event as part of the festival.
Apply online before Mon, September, 10.
