Just a reminder that The Pumpkin Passport Town Trail is coming to Faversham on the 23rd to the 31st October! 🎃

In order to enter the competition, you must collect a Pumpkin Passport from the Visitor Centre and write your details on the front. You must then go around the town, visiting local shops and businesses to find the place names of all the pumpkins!

Once you have found all the names you must return back to the Visitor Centre and drop your passport in our town trail letterbox. You can then collect your certificate from behind the desk!

The winners will be randomly selected a short while after!

Good luck!🎃🐈‍⬛
