This October half term, Wensleydale Creamery has lined up a fantastic range of activities and deals perfect for families and cheese lovers. Running from 19th October to 3rd November 2024, the Creamery offers a blend of fun and flavour, making it an ideal autumn outing.
Families can enjoy great value with free entry for children under 16, and adults can take advantage of a special 2-for-1 deal by using the code ‘AUTUMN24’ when booking at the reception desk. It’s an affordable way to make the most of the half-term break!
There’s plenty to keep kids entertained, from taking on the Cheese Trail Quiz to hunting for the hidden Wensleydale Bears. Plus, little fans of Wallace & Gromit will love the chance to pose with life-sized knitted figures of the iconic cheese-loving duo.
For those curious about the rich cheesemaking tradition in the Yorkshire Dales, live cheesemaking demonstrations will be held throughout the day. Visitors can also stop by the ‘Taste of Yorkshire’ tasting room to discover the best pairings for Wensleydale’s handcrafted cheeses, and watch skilled cheesemakers in action.
After a day of fun, guests can relax in Calvert’s Restaurant, where autumn-inspired dishes featuring Wensleydale cheese take centre stage. From 28th October to 3rd November, it’s also Sausage Week, adding even more hearty options to the menu. For Halloween, diners can enjoy seasonal favourites like Pumpkin & Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese Quiche and Pumpkin Soup topped with crumbled Yorkshire Wensleydale.
For a lighter bite, the Creamery’s 1897 Coffee Shop offers Halloween-themed coffee and cake specials, along with the ever-popular cheese on toast. The dog-friendly garden is the perfect spot to enjoy a treat while taking in the stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales. For younger visitors, there’s even a Trick or Treat “Give Us Something Good to Eat” Bag, packed with tasty snacks and a Halloween colouring book.
Before heading home, don’t miss the chance to explore the Cheese & Gift Shop, where you can sample the full range of artisan cheeses. With locally sourced accompaniments, bespoke gifts, and even craft beers and spirits, it’s the ideal place to start your Christmas shopping or pick up a true taste of Yorkshire.
