Are you ready to embrace the autumn spirit in full swing?

Craigend Nursery’s famed pumpkin patch is back and better than ever this October, offering Glaswegian families a chance to pick out the perfect pumpkin, indulge in local food treats, and take part in a whole host of fun activities. With several dates available throughout October, the event promises an unforgettable experience for both young and old.

A Pumpk-tastic Day Out

Nestled in the heart of Cumbernauld, Craigend Nursery has become synonymous with wholesome family fun each October. This year, the event returns with its signature mix of pumpkins in every shape and size, from tiny tots to the absolute giants. It’s not just about pumpkin picking either. Alongside the sprawling pumpkin patch, you’ll find jumbo-sized games that will keep the kids (and maybe some adults) entertained for hours.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. There’s also a designated carving station where you can let your creative juices flow, transforming your pumpkin into a ghoulish masterpiece. Whether it’s the classic jack-o’-lantern or something more unique, the carving zone is a must-stop for any pumpkin enthusiast.

Special Sessions for ASN Families

In a fantastic move to ensure the event is inclusive, Craigend Nursery is offering a special session for families with additional support needs (ASN). This quieter, more relaxed session will take place on Sunday, October 27, and is aimed at providing a comfortable environment for individuals who may find the regular hustle and bustle overwhelming. With limited spaces available, it’s a thoughtful touch that many families will appreciate.

Food Trucks and Firepits: A Feast for the Senses

What’s a pumpkin patch without some delicious food? This year, Craigend Nursery has really upped its game, bringing in a selection of food trucks to cater to all tastes. From the mouth-watering aroma of loaded hot dogs to the irresistible allure of toasting marshmallows over a firepit, there’s something for everyone.

And if that’s not enough to tempt you, the culinary delights on offer come with a side of autumnal atmosphere. Imagine crisp, cool air, the scent of burning wood from the firepit, and a hot drink in hand as you admire your newly picked pumpkin. It’s the perfect way to spend an October day.
