David Dow, director of Kirbys Solicitors, said:
“Kirbys has been in Harrogate for more than 250 years and, although our roots are firmly in the past, we recognise the importance of laying foundations for the future and giving our staff the opportunity for career development with us.”
South Stainley pub set to host artisan markets
A South Stainley pub is set to host three artisan Christmas markets this month.
The Inn South Stainley will hold the markets in an effort to showcase the best festive produce from local businesses.
The Inn at South Stainley owners Graham Usher and Matthew Rose.
They will run from 4pm to 8pm on three consecutive Thursdays - November 10, 17 and 24.
The three artisan Christmas markets will feature an array of regional goods including paper crafts, clothes, cards, 3D flowers and models, jewellery, gifts for animal-lovers, Christmas decorations, candles, bath bombs, clothing, bags, cakes, bakes and sweet treats.
Graham Usher, part-owner of the pub, said:
“This is the first time we have hosted an event like this, and the support from businesses has been terrific.
“These markets are an ideal opportunity to do a spot of early Christmas shopping and at the same supporting local, home-grown enterprises. And those attending can browse the stands whilst enjoying a glass of mulled wine, hot chocolate or a Yorkshire Bratwurst sausage from the kitchen BBQ.
“The market will be a great opportunity for shoppers to find Christmas gifts, whilst enjoying the best of Yorkshire food and drink."
