Business Breakfast: First ever Harrogate Art Fair at the Yorkshire Event Centre
In today's business news there's a new art fair coming to Harrogate and how a Harrogate hotel has been recognised for its work to be accessible to all guests.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
The Yorkshire Event Centre is set to host the inaugural Harrogate Art Fair.
The fair, which is designed for all budgets, aims to attract art lovers and investors and will showcase different media including paintings, sculpture, fine-art and creative photography.
Organisers say well-established and emerging artists will display their best and most recent work, which can be viewed and purchased on the day.
The event will also provide an opportunity to meet the artist and gallery owners in person.
Matt Smith who runs the Harrogate Art Fair said:
‘’Not only can you buy a unique statement piece of art to treasure but you take home the lifelong memories of meeting the artist that produced it.’’
Martin House Children’s Hospice in Wetherby has been chosen as the fair's charity - it will be selling small artworks donated by artists to raise funds and awareness of the hospice.
The Harrogate Art Fair will held at the YEC on the Great Yorkshire Showground from Friday October 14 to Sunday October 16.

Harrogate's Rudding Park Hotel and Spa has won a national award for accessibility.
The luxury hotel received the award at the AA Hotel and Hospitality Awards in London.
The Accessibility Award was a new category and was given to a hotel that has made its property as accessible as possible and provided tailored services for guests with accessibility needs through staff training and guest engagement.
Peter Banks, Managing Director at Rudding Park said:
“We are delighted to have won the Accessibility Award – even more so as it is a national award. As a business we need to be representative of our society – we understand guests have different needs and are committed to ensuring our facilities are accessible for all.
It is important to maintain the dignity of every guest who visits Rudding Park, the only reason for them to feel special is because of their visit to our surroundings not to be singled out due to having different requirements.
On the same night Grantley Hall in Ripon won hotel of the year for 2022/23 and the Swinton Estate near Masham won the sustainable award.
