Monk Park Farm is launching its first adults-only pumpkin nights, giving grown-ups a Halloween evening without the children.
The North Yorkshire farm will host the after-dark events on October 17 and October 24, with pumpkin-patch visits and seasonal activities for adults.
Running from 5.30pm to 8.30pm, the adults-only pumpkin nights offer "a little Halloween fun without the kids", with entertainment, carnival games, street food and drinks on offer.

Visitors can search the pumpkin patch after dark, choose a pumpkin, take part in carving activities and soak up the autumn atmosphere.
A mobile bar, Ewe La La, will serve drinks throughout the evening, with music and entertainment also planned.
The farm, near Thirsk, announced the events on social media, promising "cosy autumn vibes, good tunes, great food, a few drinks and plenty of pumpkins".
The post added: "No rushing around, no kids in tow... just a chilled-out evening enjoying the farm in a whole new way."
Guests can also get close to the farm's animals, including four new Highland cow calves already proving popular with visitors.
Tickets cost £12 per person and include a £3.50 pumpkin voucher.
The announcement sparked online interest, with people tagging friends and family as they planned to attend.

One person joked: "Can I just sit with the cows for the whole of the session and nothing else please."
Another simply commented: "Can't wait."
A third said the evening would be "so worth the hour drive", while others called it "cute" and a perfect autumn date night.
