Craigies Pumpkin Festival

Craigies Pumpkin Festival is back for 2025!

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for - Craigies Pumpkin Festival is back, and it’s bigger, better, and more pumpkin-packed than ever!

We’re shaking things up this year! While there’s no night-time event this year, we’ve poured all the thrills, fun, and spooky energy into our daytime experience, and trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
With more activities, more entertainment, and more for the whole family to enjoy, this is Craigies like you’ve never seen it before.

So grab your wellies, round up your pumpkin loving besties, and head to the farm for a full day of autumn adventure. From hunting down your perfect pumpkin to launching one across the field with our legendary pumpkin catapult, this is the ultimate seasonal day out.

Think towering bale climbs, twisting bale mazes, and barrel train rides through spooky tunnels. Snap a selfie at one of our photo stops, toast marshmallows by the fire pits, or get creative decorating pumpkins!

Enjoy storytelling, roaming characters, and live music from our brilliant buskers. Plus, face painting, paint ball, axe throwing and funfair rides will be back to bring even more magic to your day.

Feeling peckish? Our food and drink stalls will be serving up all your autumn favourites.

There’s never been a better time to visit Craigies by day. But for those who love the night-time vibe, keep your eyes peeled. We’ll be releasing limited late-night pumpkin picking slots soon.

Here’s what you need to know…

1-10th October is for PYO pumpkins only. Come along to the farm, snap some pics and be one of the first to take one of our pumpkins home. Please note, there will be no additional activities on these dates.

11th – 31st October is when the fun really starts, all activities listed will be available along with some seasonal surprises along the way!

Pumpkins picked are paid for separately and are not part of your ticket price.
