Nearly 350 families took part in a free Halloween pumpkin trail across Banbury town centre, organised by Banbury Business Improvement District (BID). The event ran from 19 to 31 October during the half-term holiday, providing a family-friendly activity for the community.

Shopfronts across the town centre displayed pumpkins that had been designed by pupils from 10 local schools and nurseries. The trail helped boost footfall for town centre businesses during the school holiday period.

Ollie Phipps of Banbury BID said: 'We are absolutely thrilled by the incredible turnout this year. Seeing nearly 350 families exploring our town centre is exactly what community spirit is all about.'

Winners of the trail received various prizes. Darcie received an £80 voucher for The Entertainer, Evie won four tickets to Room on the Broom at The Mill Arts Centre, and Casper received a £25 Waterstones voucher. Mr Phipps added: 'A huge congratulations to all our winners and a massive thank you to everyone who joined in.'
