Craigie's Farm Pumpkin Festival

Craigie's Farm at South Queensferry is the best pumpkin patch within easy reach of Edinburgh and comfortably the pick of the bunch in Scotland. Set at West Craigie Farm with views over the Firth of Forth, its October Pumpkin Festival offers set-date, any-day and after-dark evening tickets, so you can choose a slot to suit, with the farm's award-winning shop, deli and cafe making it a rounded day rather than a quick pick-and-go. It is popular and slots go quickly, so book ahead, and as with most Scottish patches the season is short and weather-dependent, so keep an eye on conditions. For families in the central belt it is a reliable, good-quality choice that saves a long drive south. Prices are not always listed far ahead, so treat our figure as indicative and confirm at booking.
