With spooky season now upon us, Calderglen Country Park was for the first time transformed into an enchanting adventure trail for an exciting new pumpkin picking patch.

Over four days families flocked to Inspired Events’ pumpkin wonderland at East Kilbride Pumpkin Trail from October 17 to 20.

Thousands of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes were lined up along the windy trail creating a vibrant tapestry of autumn colours.

And visitors were able to capture countless photo opportunities and make lasting memories as they explored the pumpkin wonderland.

The inaugural event was so successful organisers have added one more date to the calendar ahead of Halloween – this Saturday, October 26.

“Last weekend, we witnessed countless smiles lighting up the faces of thousands of families, with so many wonderful pictures shared across social media. Your enthusiasm and requests for us to return next year have truly touched our hearts.

“In light of this success and with plenty of pumpkins still available, we’re excited to announce that we will be hosting a final day on Saturday, October 26. We can’t wait to continue spreading joy and creating more magical moments for everyone.
