Watch Blithe Spirit at Frazer Theatre

The Knaresborough Players is performing Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit this week at Frazer Theatre, Knaresborough.

This ‘improbable farce’ explores marriage, life and death and is ripe with Coward’s signature pithy wit and memorable characters.

The story tells the tale of a spiritualist medium who holds a seance for a writer suffering from writer’s block but accidentally summons the spirit of his deceased first wife, which leads to an increasingly complex love triangle with his current wife of five years.

£8 for under 16s and over 60s, £10 for adults, 7pm October 16-18, 2pm & 7pm October 19, Frazer Theatre, Off High Street, Knaresborough, HG5 0EQ.

Enjoy Pizza in the Park

Swinton Estate near Ripon is firing up the ovens and holding its pop-up dining experience at The Deer House.

And you can get nice and cosy too under the sheepskin rugs, blankets and by the fire.

£14 per child, £32.50 per adult, from 5pm, October 18, Swinton Park Hotel, Ripon, HG4 4JH.

See if you can spot a spirit on a ghost hunt

As Halloween approaches, what better time to go on a ghost hunt?

Haunted Adventure is holding its event at Ripon Workhouse where attendees will get the opportunity to see what life in the workhouse was like, and hopefully experience the many spooky goings on that are reported by staff and visitors alike.

Many have apparently seen ghostly figures in parts of the building, unexplained bangs and knocks and doors opening and closing of their own accord. Some have also reported having their clothes pulled, and voices coming from empty rooms.

As well as using ghost hunting equipment, attendees can also take park in seances and conduct lone vigils if they're brave enough.

£49 per person, from 8.30pm, October 19, Sharow View, Allhallowgate, Ripon, HG4 1LE.

Take care of your mind, body and soul

Holistic performance and wellbeing coach Richie Norton is leading a retreat workshop for mind, body and soul on Saturday.

The event will finish with a woodland walk followed by a shared lunch.

£96.96 per person, 9.30am-2pm, October 19, Harewood Holistics, Arch Barn, LS17 9LS.
