REVIEW: My Spooky Halloween Adventure at Balgone Estate Exploring their Pumpkin Patch and Haunted Trail 2024 | East Lothian


If you’re hunting for some spooky fun this Halloween, look no further than Balgone Estate's Halloween Pumpkin Patch and Haunted Trail. Nestled just outside North Berwick, Scotland's largest pumpkin patch brings together charming autumn vibes and gorgeous views. I recently visited, and I'm excited to share my eerie adventure with fellow Halloweeners.


As Autumn sets in, Balgone Estate is transformed into a vibrant wonderland of pumpkins and ghostly decorations that instantly put you in the Halloween mood.


Getting There

Reaching Balgone Estate is an adventure in itself! Driving along winding country roads, I was surrounded by breathtaking views of colourful autumn foliage. This drive heightened my anticipation for the spooky night ahead. Upon arrival, the estate buzzed with families and groups of friends, all excited to jump into the Halloween excitement.


The Pumpkin Patch

Before diving into the haunted adventure, I strolled through the pumpkin patch. Rows of pumpkins filled the field, each with its own unique shape and color. It was like stepping into a picturesque autumn dream!


The Haunted Trail

As the sun went down, we stepped onto the Haunted Trail. Instantly, the atmosphere transformed; it felt ominous and eerie. Dimly lit by flickering lanterns, the path cast eerie shadows, while rustling leaves and creaking branches heightened the suspense.


As we ventured deeper into the trail, we encountered themed areas that kept the kiddos entertained. The creativity behind each section was impressive. Some of my favourites included "The Crooked Cauldron" and a spooky forest filled with ghostly and ghastly creatures.



Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a local searching for seasonal activities or someone who loves Halloween thrills, Balgone Estate's Pumpkin Patch and Haunted Trail is the perfect blend of autumn charm and spooky excitement that makes for a fun Halloween event.


So gather your friends, grab your warm drinks, and head over (if you dare!) to Balgone Estate. Halloween is waiting for you!


Happy haunting!
