The Patch

Balgone Estate is thrilled to announce the return of the grand Balgone Pumpkins experience for its fifth consecutive year in East Lothian. At Scotland's largest pumpkin patch, enjoy an expansive 10-acre patch, home to a mesmerizing collection of over 70,000 pumpkins & squashes in 27 distinct varieties.

Pricing will be based on the weight of the pumpkins ranging from £1-£10, we are pleased to announce we have lowered our pricing thanks to new machinery making pumpkins easier to grow & nurture.

Culinary squash makes for a hearty meal, however, if you need a little inspiration take a look at our recipes on offer here.

We plant our pumpkins in May time and this year, after some heavy watering and weeding they flower and the pumpkin begins to grow!
