National Trust site Charlecote Park is phasing out edible gourds and pumpkins on display to reduce food waste. Instead, an entirely handmade crop of pumpkins, crafted by volunteers and community groups, can now be found at the historic mansion. Attracting hundreds of visitors since launching last year, the zero-waste, seasonal display is back bigger and better with displays found in the Victorian kitchen and around the house. Visitors can take home their own knitted pumpkin for a welcome donation, which will contribute to the conservation of the special site, cared for by the National Trust. The display is available to enjoy at Charlecote Park until November 3.
