The Mole Valley Squash and Pumpkin Show

A free annual pumpkin and squash show where anyone can enter home-grown pumpkins, gourds and butternuts across eight classes, part of the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival.

Organised by the Dorking Allotment Holders' Association and now in its 17th year, this show invites everyone to enter garden or allotment-grown pumpkins. There are eight classes covering pumpkins, gourds, butternuts, the bizarre, the very big and a culinary class. Visitors can come along to see the entries and celebrate the joy of growing; the event forms part of the Mole Valley Arts Alive Festival.
