The Tattie-Bogle Trail and other fun October events
Join in the scarecrow fun at Brodick Country Park this October!
Make your own scarecrow then bring it along to Brodick Country Park and get free family entry to the gardens and estate for the day. Leave it with us and we’ll install it on our tattie-bogle trail.
Come back and see your scarecrow during the holidays and at the end of the holidays there’ll be a grand scarecrow competition, with the winners decided by public Facebook likes!
Tattie-bogles will be placed along the fairy trail for all to see from Saturday 3–Friday 30 October.
Visitors can also take part in the autumn-themed fairy door trail inside the castle.
Carve your own pumpkin at home and enter a picture into our competition on the Brodick Castle, Gardens and Estate Facebook page.
