Farm honours Ozzy Osbourne with huge mural made from over 10,000 pumpkins

A farm in Hampshire has honoured the late-great Ozzy Osbourne with a colossal pumpkin mural made from over 10,000 squashes.

Each October, Sunnyfields Farm in Totton hosts a Pumpkin Time immersive event that for the past seven years has kicked off with the unveiling of a giant pumpkin pyramid.

The subject of the pumpkin mosaic is decided by public vote with previous designs including Beetlejuice, Paddington, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, which set a Guinness World Record for the largest cucurbit mural.

This year, over 70% of the public voted for Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne to honoured in the wake of his death aged 76 in July.

Thomas Nelson, director of Sunnyfields Farm, said the Ozzy mosaic took 16 people four-and-a-half hours to create.

Dubbed the ‘prince of pumpkins’, it depicts a smiling Ozzy Osbourne wearing his trademark round glasses and surrounded by three flying bats.

Sunnyfields Farm’s Pumpkin Time event runs from this Saturday (4th October) until Halloween on 31st October. It also boasts a Glow Trail and six new immersive rooms.
