Pumpkin Madness at Westerton Farm

For the eighth October running, Westerton Farm in the Howe o' the Mearns gives a field over to pumpkins. Book a session, pick your own from the patch and find your way through the bale maze, then stay on for the goats, chickens and alpacas and a barn full of bouncy castles. One ticket covers the car and everyone in it. Pumpkins and the indoor play are paid for on top, with wristbands for the barn at £5.50 a child bought ahead, and tractor rides at weekends. Bring wellies and some cash: the patch is grass, and the nearest cash machine is in Laurencekirk. It runs every day from 9 to 25 October, a few miles off the A90.
