Customer Information currently the grounds of Monk Fryston Hall remain closed to the public.
We thank the many local people that have respected our decision to close our grounds during the Covid 19 pandemic and look forward to seeing you all again soon. We have not decided when we will reopen. We do not share the government's view that it is now safe to congregate. We are now looking at our reopening strategy.
Parental information
Children and teenagers are never allowed to play in the grounds without an adult due to safety and security issues.
We will consider making it a police matter if children and teenagers are found using the grounds without adult supervision.
Currently, we are noticing damage in the woodlands by children/teenagers. We have incurred a broken bridge, den building across footpaths rope swings in trees and huge amounts of litter being left both in woodlands and formal grounds. We, therefore, request to all parents to inform their children regardless of Covid 19, that they are not to use the woodlands and grounds of Monk Fryston Hall Hotel as a playground. They are not to enter the grounds including the woodlands without an adult regardless of Covid 19 restrictions.
The woodland and grounds and grounds are dangerous to children, the branches of trees could break and injure children playing on them, the waterways are not safe for children to play around as they are deep in mud and could endanger life. The litter left behind in the woodlands and now the formal grounds is a danger to wildlife
Horse riding and cycling are never allowed in the woodlands as they churn up the paths and spoil the enjoyment of the woods for others.
I am sure that most parents reading this will appreciate that their children's safety is paramount along with the wildlife of the woodlands. Thank you for your anticipated assistance in this matter.
