The BID has partnered with Odin Events to bring this new experience to the North Yorkshire town, transforming Library Gardens into a spooky Halloween haven.
The event, running on October 29th and 30th, will bring a traditional pumpkin patch right into the key town centre location, making it highly accessible for residents and visitors. Featuring plenty of pumpkins, straw furrows, picket fencing and decorative hay bales, it’s set to bring the feel of a traditional pumpkin patch into Harrogate.
A spooky trail will be placed in key areas of the town centre from October 25th until November 5th, which must be completed to access the pumpkin patch on the dates it is running. On the other dates, those that complete the trail can hand in their leaflet at the Everyman Cinema in Harrogate to be entered into a prize draw with a chance to win a family ticket for the Harrogate Ghost Walk.
Spooky street entertainment will also be on show for a series of mysterious performances during the Halloween period.
