Harrogate welcomed hundreds of visitors for its sell-out pop-up pumpkin patch and monster-themed trail.
The free patch, set up in Library Gardens over Tuesday (October 29th) and Wednesday (October 30th), was the first time this has been done in Harrogate town centre.
It was organised by Harrogate BID, who have hailed it as a success with a “very positive response” from both visitors and residents.
The Halloween Monster Trail, which those that wished to enter the pumpkin patch had to complete, took visitors on a route around 10 different town centre locations in a bid to encourage them to explore and possibly discover more of Harrogate.
Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said:
“We were very keen to organise something around Halloween this year – and we’re so pleased we’ve had a great response to the patch! We had some lovely comments from visitors throughout the event.
“It really did bring the feel of a traditional pumpkin patch into our town centre, with so many visitors praising both how it looked and the joy it brought to them and their families.
“We hope the trail benefitted local businesses and helped to increase both footfall and spend as visitors wandered around town.”
Across last weekend, spooky street entertainers ‘Trick & Treat’ performed some of their terrifying tricks, wowing crowds with their haunting magician skills.
The Monster Trail will remain in place until Sunday evening (November 3rd).
Those wishing to take part should collect a trail sheet from the Everyman Cinema, complete the trail and then hand the sheets back in at the Cinema.
Completed entries will be in with a chance of winning a top prize – a family ticket for the spooky Harrogate Ghost Walk.
The BID is also already well on its way with planning events upcoming in 2025, with new ideas set to come to light along with the return of some popular favourites.
