Ferret Unlocked: don’t miss out on all the latest in Lifestyle

The nights are drawing in, making it an ideal time to settle down on the sofa with a cup of something warm, and explore the Stray Ferret’s lifestyle section.

Our lifestyle journalists have been busy once more, finding stories from the individuals, businesses and charities across the Harrogate district.

Last Wednesday, we landed an exclusive interview with William Hanson, British etiquette coach, Sunday Times bestselling author, and co-host of hit podcast Help I Sexted My Boss, ahead of his appearance at the Harrogate Literary Festival.

Following on from our trip over to to Burley-in-Wharfedale to speak to 400 Roses and T’Thorns, we published our feature on the dance troupe, where we discussed everything from breaking traditions to movement being good for the soul.

Our biweekly history column has unearthed some fascinating stories that have helped shape the region, and last week’s deep dive was no exception.

We looked into the history behind St Robert’s Cave in Knaresborough, which turned out to be a tale of mysticism, religious pilgrimage, and a 12th century hermit who called a cave home for 30 years.

Many people in the district were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on Thursday, October 11, and our readers sent in some fantastic photos, which we put into a gallery for everybody to enjoy.

Looking ahead to this Saturday and Sunday, the schedule promises more weekend inspiration and longer features to read at your leisure – keep your eye out for our coverage of Henshaws Anonymous Art Sale, as well an article focusing on the work that charity Open Country is doing to help those with disabilities access the North Yorkshire countryside.

Finally, by subscribing to the Stray Ferret, readers can enjoy a range of fantastic exclusive offers, discounts and giveaways from local businesses, which we regularly update.

While Harrogate Restaurant might be over, subscribers can enjoy year-round discounts on cafes, bars and eateries in the district. Take advantage of 20% off at Santorini Express and 20% off Mykonos Bar & Grill, before rounding off the night with 20% off drinks at Best Bar.
