Neep Picking

Lidl will open the nation’s first ever neep picking patch this October, reviving the dwindling tradition of crafting ‘tumshie lanterns’, this one-of-a-kind day out takes family fun back to its roots.

Tickets are only £5 for adults and free for children under 11 – grab ticket before they sell out! Sessions will run in the morning and afternoon from Saturday 12th-Monday 14th October. Tickets can be purchased at https://bit.ly/4cXhtBD, with all proceeds donated to STV Children’s Appeal, to support children and families that need it most across Scotland.

There’ll be an on-site ‘Tumshie Tent’ with an expert team on hand to hollow out guests’ lanterns alongside an arty area for kids to get crafty before venturing out on the ‘Tattie Bogle Trail’.

The ‘Lidl Neepers’ play area will offer good old-fashioned games including a Neep Shy, Neeps and Crosses and Bowling with Neeps as well as a straw bale chute.
