More than 80 people have submitted objections to Monk Park Farm’s application for a new premises licence, which would allow music, dancing and alcohol to be served between 10am and 10pm.
The venue near Thirsk and on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, currently features animal barns, indoor play areas, activity zones, a gift shop and a café.
