Leisure facilities at Conyngham Hall in Knaresborough have closed due to staff shortages.
The hall grounds are popular with families, offering a refreshment hut, two tennis courts, pitch and putt, a putting green and crazy golf.
But Harrogate Borough Council, which maintains the eighteenth century hall and grounds, is currently unable to staff the facilities.
A council spokesperson said:
“Unfortunately, due to staff shortages the refreshment hut at Conyngham Hall is currently closed.
“Due to this closure we are unable to provide refreshments, tennis and golf facilities.
“We are advertising for a games attendant and hope to resolve the situation as soon as we can.
“In the interim, the tennis courts will be open should anyone wish to play.
“We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Knaresborough resident James Monaghan, who often visits the grounds with his family, said many of the facilities had been kept open during covid and it was disappointing they weren’t available now. He added:
“But it is a good result if they are prepared to unlock the tennis courts in the meantime and it would be even better if they put the flags back on the golf course too.”
