The pumpkin patch at Monk Park Farm opens on the first weekend of October and runs every weekend after that. From Monday 19 to Friday 23 October the farm runs a Toddler Pumpkin Festival on a shorter day, and from Saturday 24 October it is open every day through half term to Halloween. Last admission is two hours before closing, so on the toddler days that means arriving by 1pm. Every ticket carries a voucher for one small pumpkin, and there is a carving station on site.

The farm is about ten minutes' drive from Thirsk, near Bagby. Two ticket types run in the daytime: the full farm with the patch, or the patch on its own. The evening nights are the adults-only one on Saturday 24 October and the Family Pumpkin Night on Sunday 25 October.

Nothing left on the calendar for this one. Next year's dates usually go up a few months ahead, and we will add them when they do.

Coming for this? We are at 87 Market Place. The menu, hours and parking, or book a table if there are six or more of you.
