Forget the pumpkins - there's a neep patch coming soon to Chatelherault Country Park, promising to revive the tradition of carving 'tumshie lanterns' that Scots of a certain age will remember!
A popular supermarket chain hopes to get people ditching pumpkins this Halloween to revive a much-loved Scottish tradition.
Taking family fun back to its roots, the Lidl neep patch will see supplier Stewarts of Tayside - which grows a momentous 50 million neeps every year - harvest a special crop at Chatelherault Country Park in Lanarkshire.Launching today , the firm say tickets, which can be bought here, are "a steal" at just £5 for adults and free for weans so neep-picking hopefuls best be quick before they sell out, with all proceeds donated to STV Children’s Appeal.
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. Lidl’s Regional Director for Scotland, Marco Ivone, said: “Lidl has long been a champion of great quality Scottish produce and neeps are no different - in fact, we’ve worked with our long standing supplier, Stewarts of Tayside, for over 25 years.
