OVER THE PAST week, hundreds and hundreds of our readers got creative for our Hallowe’en pumpkin carving competition. 

The prize at stake was a Just Eat gift card and we can see that most of you had a lot of fun with this at home with loved ones.

The standard of entry was unbelievably high – we marveled at the ingenuity, creativity and skills. 

It was incredibly difficult to pick a winner but here are the Top Five, and also some of the other truly excellent entries.
