The list includes 17 low-cost or free events for families feeling the pinch in the run-up to Christmas.
Autumn is never a season to pass by quietly while Ripon and Nidderdale offer a hive of unique and traditional events.
Included in the list is a selection of community bonfires, firework displays and Autumn barbecues where children can enjoy a sparkler and a toffee apple in true November style.
This year there is even something to keep the parents happy with “adult hot chocolate” drinks and pop-up bars for the colder nights.
Check out these family-friendly venues filled with ghouls, witches, pumpkin hunts and ghost stories promising to keep children in the “spirit” of Halloween this half-term.
