    Bilton-pair Laura Berryman and Natalie White set up L&N Candles as a hobby. Now, they're set to operate for the first time from a town centre shop as part of a venture to showcase independent businesses.

    A Harrogate town centre pop-up shop aimed at showcasing small businesses is set to host its first business from today.

    L&N Candles was set up by Bilton-pair Laura Berryman and Natalie White back in 2018 as a side hobby.

    It will become the first small business to take advantage of the shop, which has been offered to rent by property consultants Barker Proudlove and Victoria Shopping Centre.

    Laura and Natalie started selling candles, bath bombs and wax melts online and while it did well during the covid lockdown, the pair opted to bid for the shop.

    Laura said:

    “We did well during the pandemic, but we wanted to meet our customers and try to build that base.
    "We picked some dates but didn't realise we would be the first."


    Laura, who works full-time at Covance, and Natalie, a healthcare assistant, hope the week-long stay in the shop on the town’s Cambridge Street will pay off.

    Online-only until now, the outlet will be the first time the business partners have operated out of a shop. Long-term, the hope is for L&N Candles to have its own base in the town centre.

    Showcasing independent business


    Barker Proudlove and Victoria Shopping Centre came up with the idea to rent out the outlet opposite Cafe Nero back in August.

    Businesses can rent the space for between one and six weeks and the £400 weekly cost includes rent, business rates, water, electricity and furniture.

    James White, centre manager at The Victoria Centre, said previously:

    “The pop-up shop provides an opportunity for small businesses to showcase their brands, ideas and test the market place on Cambridge Street.
    “It offers a short-term commitment which makes trying new business ideas more attractive.”


    The two organisations hope the space will attract a stream of independent businesses.
