About this experience

Balgone Pumpkins is a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and Haunted Trail at Balgone Estate, just outside North Berwick in East Lothian and about 35 minutes from Edinburgh. In 2026 it runs on Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October, Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October, and Friday 30 to Saturday 31 October, open 9am to 6pm (5pm after the clocks change.)

Tickets are £18 per car, or per walking group of up to five, and one ticket covers everyone in the car. Book your entry slot below. The Fridays have the most space.

Choose your pumpkins from the patch, with wheelbarrows to carry them to the Patch Checkout, where they are priced by weight. Photo frames and props are set out through the field. Then take the 1.8km Haunted Trail around Balgone Lakes. Toast marshmallows over the Lakeside Cabin with our resident witches (hopefully you meet them on a good day!)

Street food traders, the Balgone BBQ and Herd café are open every day of the season, with covered seating in the food village. And visit the face-painting trailer, on site every day.

What’s included

Your ticket covers entry for everyone in the car, the pumpkin patch, the Haunted Trail, parking and toilets, including an accessible toilet. Pumpkins, food and drink are paid for on the day.

We plant our pumpkins in May. This year an unsettled few days just after planting meant some of the crop failed, so we have bought in pumpkins from other UK farms to make up the shortfall. Next year the aim is to grow every pumpkin on the estate again.

Good to know

How much are the pumpkins? Priced by weight and paid for at the Patch Checkout. Wheelbarrows are provided.

Can I bring my dog? Dogs are welcome on a lead, but not in the pumpkin patch. Assistance dogs are welcome throughout.

Is it accessible? The car park, food village, Patch Checkout and level parts of the patch are accessible, with parking nearest the entrance kept for visitors with access needs. Adult and child beach wheelchairs can be booked free of charge in two-hour slots. The Haunted Trail has slopes and uneven ground.

What should we wear? Wellies or boots and warm, waterproof layers. It is a working farm in October, so expect mud.

Where is it? Balgone Estate, just outside North Berwick in East Lothian, about 35 minutes' drive from Edinburgh. Follow the event signs on arrival.
