Knaresborough's first food and drink week to begin on Monday
Knaresborough's first food and drink week will begin on Monday.
Twenty-four businesses are involved in the venture, which runs from March 18 to Sunday, March 24.
It is one of many events being organised this year by Knaresborough Business Collective.
The collective, which was set up by independent traders Natalie Horner and Annie Wilkinson-Gill in 2021, created the food and drink to showcase Knaresborough's culinary offer.
Similar to the Harrogate and York restaurant week events, it will give people cut-price deals throughout the week.
The deals include butchers meat bundle deals, 2 for 1 deals on cocktails and meals, early bird menus and a full afternoon tea for two for £32.
The collective said in a statement:
The collective has also revealed plans to run two more events, a health and beauty week and a retail week in the run-up to the Knaresborough Business Awards in summer.
The health and beauty week, which will take place next month, will offer salons a chance to showcase what they have to offer, and the retail event will occur in May.
Ms Horner said:
Besides advertising their events on the collective's Facebook page, participating businesses will also put posters in their window stating their offers.
The businesses involved are:
- Carriages in Knaresborough

Collective plans
Last year there were talks of the business collective disbanding after the founders struggled to balance their businesses, personal lives and the collective.
Ms Horner said:
But she told the Stray Ferret there would be no spring festival this year, as the collective plans to organise multiple smaller events instead.
She added it was expected to return in April next year and was never planned to be an annual event, despite running for the past two years.
