Hobtastic Trail at Ryedale Folk Museum

Throughout September, the hobs take over Ryedale Folk Museum and it’s your job to find them. Known for their mystic and magic, these classic folklore creatures are hidden across the museum, adding a touch of whimsy to any visit.

As you wander through the museum's charming historical buildings and beautiful grounds, you’ll encounter various Hobgoblin characters, each with their own story to tell. It's a delightful way to explore the museum’s collections while also soaking up the picturesque surroundings of the Ryedale countryside.

Scarborough Goldwing Light Parade

Scarborough’s Goldwing Light Parade is a true spectacle, and it’s returning each September. This event draws hundreds of Honda Goldwing motorbikes from across the country, decorated with an array of lights that illuminate the streets in a display like no other. 

The display itself is a sight to behold, but the event is about more than just the bikes. It it a full day of live music, stalls, a grand parade and fireworks display, all in the name of raising money for local charities. 

If you’re in Yorkshire this autumn, the Light Parade is not to be missed.
