Kids & Family Events

North Yorkshire offers a vibrant calendar of family events that change with the seasons, making it an ideal destination year-round. Spring brings fresh energy with Easter events and nature-themed activities that celebrate the start of brighter days, from lambing events to Easter egg hunts.

Summer is packed with excitement, from open-air festivals and outdoor cinema to hands-on workshops that will keep kids entertained during the school holidays. Take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather with summer concerts and music festivals, activity trails and unique events at the area’s family attractions.

Autumn invites you to embrace the changing colours with spooktacular Halloween events and pumpkin patches alongside cosy indoor events for those drizzly half-term days.

From twinkling light displays to winter markets and family-friendly theatre, North Yorkshire transforms into a magical wonderland every winter. Steam through stunning scenery on steam railways, admire as towns are transformed with festive lights and illuminations, and make memories that will last a lifetime with unforgettable visits to Father Christmas and festive friends.
