Overview
A fun and exciting opportunity to be part of Craigies Santa Adventure, being held throughout December at Craigies Farm, South Queensferry.
From humble beginnings, Craigies Farm has grown to become one of the UK’s leading farm shop destinations and represents the very best in modern Scottish farming. Craigies Shop was opened in 1988 with a one-table shop in a converted barn and added the Café in 2007. It has expanded over the years to offer an extensive Pick Your Own and Little Farmers, an adventure farm park for children and families opened in Summer 2021. At Craigies Farm you can eat, shop, play and ‘PYO’ surrounded by stunning countryside just outside Edinburgh.
