Polmont and Brightons Community Pumpkin Trail

After the success of last year’s event, Polmont Playgroup has organised another COVID-19-friendly Pumpkin Trail around Polmont and Brightons.

The trail covers a buggy and pram-friendly route, a 2.5 mile round route to spot all the pumpkins open from Friday 29^th October – Sunday 31^st October. Open to everyone of all ages, including families, dogs and those just there for the walk.

Trail Maps can be ordered online, and cost £3 each. All money raised from the maps will go towards funding for the playgroup. Each pumpkin marked on the trail will display a letter; once you find the letter, note it on your map and unscramble the letters to make a spooky phrase. All completed (and partially) completed) Trail Maps will receive a FREE Pumpkin Goody Bag! (Maps all have a unique reference and duplicates will not be accepted.)

There are also spooky rocks hidden around the trail for people to find, along with extra pumpkins and a Best Fancy Dress competition, and a special prize for the winner.

Everyone taking part should follow all current social distancing guidelines, and wear a mask if entering any of the local businesses. Participants are asked not to knock at any of the decorated houses along the trail.
