Two popular autumn events will return to the beautiful surroundings of Scarborough’s Peasholm Park this month.
First up will be Moonlight on the Lake on Friday 21 October, which promises to be a magical evening of illuminations on the water, set against the backdrop of the park’s oriental themed island.
From 5.30pm to 7.30pm people will be able to take a leisurely stroll round the park while enjoying the sight of illuminated lanterns on the lake and dragon boats lit up to create reflections as they make their way through the water.
The week after, the ‘Autumn Daze’ Festival will take place on Wednesday 26 October from 10am to 3pm, offering lots of free autumn themed activities for all ages.
Budding adventurers will be able to learn how to start a fire using traditional methods and toast marshmallows over the fire pits.
Yorkshire coast explorer experts, Hidden Horizons, will host the scavenger hunt, which starts at the tipi and bell tents near the Buttercup Kiosk. The challenge is to collect all the items on the list from around the park to create a personal celebration of autumn.
The Alice in Wonderland team from The Curious Theme Factory will offer a craft session and story time, and there will be a teddy bear music session with Kathy Seabrook.
There will also be face painting and demonstrations of bush craft techniques to enjoy and provide inspiration for future outings to the borough’s many woods and parks.
At the shelter near Peasholm Café, Peasholm Park Friends will run seasonal craft activities.
Peasholm Café will be open for people to purchase refreshments at both Moonlight on the Lake and Autumn Daze, and there will be pop up food and drink stalls.
Vicki Jones, Scarborough Borough Council events and venues manager said:
“With spectacular colours by day and magical illuminations by night, Peasholm Park is the perfect setting for these two special autumn events.
“Both events are free to attend and a great way for families and friends to get out of the house and enjoy some time together exploring the great outdoors without worrying about great expense.”
