Tesco is giving away free pre-carved pumpkins in selected UK stores from October 22 to October 31, 2026. The promotion follows research indicating that 36% of Brits would appreciate assistance with pumpkin design. Tesco stated that factors like lack of carving skills, the mess involved, or lack of creativity are dampening pumpkin carving plans.
