Guinness World Record: Tim Burton-inspired pumpkin mosaic celebrates 30th anniversary of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'
Sunnyfields Farm in Southampton has achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new Guinness World Record. The record-breaking mosaic, inspired by the whimsical world of filmmaker Tim Burton, is a masterpiece crafted from an astonishing collection of over 10,000 pumpkins and squashes.
This extraordinary achievement was unveiled to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the beloved animated film, 'The Nightmare Before Christmas,' and beautifully captures the iconic moonlight stance of Jack Skellington, the film's protagonist.
Sunnyfields Farm now proudly holds the title for the largest mosaic ever created from squashes, a monumental feat that required the mosaic to span an impressive 100 square meters.
However, the final artwork surpassed all expectations, covering nearly 200 square meters with its intricate and spooky design.
This remarkable project demanded meticulous planning and hours of dedicated work. The farm's dedicated staff devoted approximately five hours to the creation of this giant pumpkin and squash mosaic.
Such a dedication to artistry and precision speaks volumes about the passion and creativity behind this record-breaking endeavor.
Sunnyfields Farm is no stranger to setting records, as it annually hosts a «giant pumpkin weigh-off,» where participants often achieve world records. Farmer Ian Nelson, 59, expressed their astonishment at attaining this particular accolade, stating, «We always see people get world records, but we didn't think we would get one ourselves.
