Halloween is about to hit us before you know it, and with spaces filling up fast as local farms get ready open their gates to the good folks of Scotland, it’s best to book in advance.
From fully independent pumpkin picking experiences to expert-led pumpkin carving classes - this list represents everything you need to know about pumpkin patches in and around Glasgow, including pricing, location, availability, and more.
Tickets for the pumpkin picking patches are relatively inexpensive, usually not costing more than a tenner per person, and with some spots even hosting festivals complete with events, carving workshops, and even photoshoot opportunities.
Why pick a pumpkin from some box in the supermarket when you and your family could make a lasting memory out picking your own from the field.
