Half term Trail and Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch
Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch Returns to Ripon Market Square
Ripon BID is bringing back the popular Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch to Ripon Market Square on Friday 30th October 2026, from 10am to 2pm.
Families can meet the friendly Scarecrow, snap a photo with their faces in the hole board, and pick out a pumpkin to take home. First, though, there’s a trail to complete. *
Join Sir Squashalot’s Pumpkin Trail
From Friday 23rd to Friday 30th October, children and families can follow Sir Squashalot’s Pumpkin Trail around the city centre. Find all the pumpkins hidden in the windows of participating businesses and pick up some fascinating pumpkin facts along the way. Once you’ve found them all, head to the Pumpkin Patch to choose your pumpkin.
Trail sheets will be available to collect from participating businesses and the Ripon BID office at 8 Westgate.
