Harrogate childrenswear brand to launch at Great Yorkshire Show
A new Harrogate based childrenswear brand is due to launch at the Great Yorkshire Show in July.
The high-end country style clothing store will be online, but will also have stands at various country events and shows.
It plans to sell a variety of sustainable products, from tweed coats to hand-knitted cashmere boots.
Eleanor Charles' tweed range
Mum of two and former solicitor Katie Heptonstall started the plans for Eleanor Charles after the pandemic hit.
After moving from London back to Harrogate when her father-in-law suffered a heart attack, Mrs Heptonstall and her husband chose to stay in the town after the birth of their children, Elle and Charlie, who the business is named after.
She said:
The shop will launch at the Great Yorkshire Show , which runs from Tuesday, July 12 to Friday, July 15, where the clothing stand will also have a sofa for breastfeeding, a baby changing area, a colouring table and a photo wall.
The Alice Hawthorn pub wins three regional awards for architecture
The Alice Hawthorn pub in Nun Monkton has won three regional RIBA awards for Yorkshire, celebrating its architecture and sustainability.
The hotel and pub won the regional Yorkshire award, the Yorkshire sustainability award and the Yorkshire client of the year award at the ceremony held in London.
Twelve new guest bedrooms were recently designed by De Matos Ryan, with the aim of preventing the pub from closing.
Since four local taverns closed down, The Alice Hawthorn is the only remaining pub in the village.
The new timber frame buildings include the sheds, field barn, stables and tack room
De Matos Ryan director Angus Morrogh-Ryan said:
The ensuite bedrooms were designed with sustainable elements including timber frame buildings, low energy lighting and a heat pump for hot water and heating.
The Alice Hawthorn has now been shortlisted for the RIBA national awards, which will take place later this year.
