Harrogate's library gardens to be transformed into pop-up pumpkin patch

Wednesday, 2 October 2024 15:02

How the pumpkin patch in Harrogate could look.

Harrogate BID will be delivering a brand-new event for Halloween this year, bringing pop-up pumpkin fun to the town centre.

The BID has partnered with Odin Events to transform 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.

Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said:

“We’re thrilled to be working alongside the team at Odin to bring this Halloween-themed fun to Harrogate for the first time.

“It’s set to be a lovely day out for all the family and will create a great feel around the town as we move into the Autumn months.

“This unique experience is going to transform Library Gardens into a traditional pumpkin patch, so be sure to sign up when you can as there will be a limited number of pumpkins available.”

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.

The BID hopes that this Halloween fun will help to create a vibrant town centre with themed seasonal activities.

Further details on Halloween in Harrogate are set to be released over the coming weeks.
