Arnprior Farm hosts Scotland’s original Pumpkin festival, with over 20,000 pumpkins to choose from over 3 weeks in October. Our patch is a great day out for all the family, including your furry friends.
As well as pumpkins, we have a quad pod ride, pumpkin cannon, bale mountain, an indoor hay barn, face painting, bouncy castle, lots of photo opportunities and much much more.
We have a delicious selection of food and drink each day including Loops and Scoops infamous churros, Skinners of Kippen burgers and pumpkin soup, pizzas, hot chocolates, Lous home baking and Gin fizz.
We also have our popular pop up shop in the polytunnel where you will be sure to find some autumnal goodies to take home.
Arnprior Farm is very easy to find. The farm is located in the village of Arnprior itself. Arnprior is located on the A811, 11 miles west of Stirling. The pumpkin event is clearly signposted as you approach the village from both directions.
If you are arriving by bus, the bus stop is in the village too, with buses coming form Stirling and Glasgow/Balfron. Look at the First Bus timetable for more info! Please note that no buses run on Sundays to Arnprior.
No, as your car is parked at the pods, and you can walk down to the field. The pod carpark is only open to guests and will be closed to non-guests.
If you are parking your car you must have a ticket. If you arrive by bus, you do not need a ticket. Tickets are only for your car. There is no where else to park in Arnprior

In areas. The pumpkin patch itself is in a real field, although we have gravel paths . You can access our catering area via a path. With babies, if you can use a baby carrier I would recommend it.
