Trick or Treat…

Buttons scoured the homemade pumpkin patch at Partington’s Holiday Park in Staining to secure the most boo-tiful pumpkin for his beloved Cinderella, ensuring she’ll be riding to the ball in style in Blackpool Grand Theatre’s fabulous family Christmas pantomime.

“Finding the perfect pumpkin isn’t just a squash-buckling adventure – it’s essential for any fairytale with a midnight deadline!” said Steve as he lifted the dazzling orange prize. “Only the best for our Cinderella, and this one is the pick of the patch!”
