Plan a day
The Great Yorkshire Pumpkin Festival at Monk Park Farm, ten minutes from the square: which days, which ticket, what happens in the rain, and the two kinds of evening.

Events
A private room above the cafe for up to 20, with its own door off the street and the food made downstairs and carried up. What it suits, and how the booking is taken.

Plan a day
The National Trust lights the abbey and the water garden on four October weekends, thirty-five minutes from Thirsk. We shut at four; the evening is theirs.

Plan a day
Thirsk Racecourse's next Ladies' Day is Saturday 4 September 2027. Breakfast, a private room to get ready in, and twenty minutes to the gates.

Plan a day
Thirsk market has run on the cobbles since 1145. A local's guide to Mondays and Saturdays, from the early breakfast to the charity shop trail.

Afternoon tea
What is actually on the stand, how booking a time works, what we can swap for allergies, and the honest answer on how much food it is.
