Pumpkin Mosaic of David Attenborough Breaks World Record

The 218.19 sq m display used more than 10,000 pumpkins and squashes, Guinness World Records said.

  • On Tuesday, Guinness World Records senior adjudicator Pravin Patel confirmed that Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, Hampshire, set a new world record with a 218.19 square meter pumpkin mosaic depicting Sir David Attenborough.
  • The farm selected Attenborough after he emerged as the clear favorite in an August social media poll, celebrating the naturalist's 100th birthday this year.
  • Measuring 218.19 square meters, the artwork utilized around 11,000 squashes and pumpkins; artist Andrew Bega designed the portrait, which took 18 staff members five hours to assemble.
  • This record-breaking installation serves as the centerpiece for the farm's annual 'Pumpkin Time' event, which runs throughout October as visitors arrive for Halloween.
  • Farm director Thomas Nelson—whose father started the tradition eight years ago—noted there is "always scope to go bigger and better" for future displays.
