Townscape Architects returns to Harrogate Homebuilding & Renovating Show for 10th consecutive year

This October and November marks Townscape's tenth year exhibiting at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show in Harrogate — a milestone that underlines something simple: local expertise matters.
With studios in both Harrogate and York, Townscape Architects brings deep, on-the-ground knowledge of Yorkshire’s places, planning policies, trades and materials to every project. That local insight helps homeowners move from ideas to buildable, beautiful outcomes with confidence.
For many planning an extension, renovation or new build, the choices can feel overwhelming. Materials, energy strategy, glazing, budgets, timescales — each decision affects the next. That’s why it doesn’t just attend for new conversations; it invites existing clients to the show so they can explore, touch and compare products first-hand.
Seeing options side-by-side — from windows and staircases to MVHR and smart heating — helps speed up decisions and often reveals smarter, better-value solutions.
Being local means Townscape understands the nuances that shape successful Yorkshire homes: Harrogate and Nidderdale stone, York brick and clay pantiles, village conservation areas, city terraces, rural plots, green belt edges and AONB sensitivities.
It knows how Harrogate Borough and City of York policies are typically interpreted, what heritage officers look for, how streetscape character evolves from village to village, and which suppliers deliver on time and on budget. That know-how shortens the path from sketch to approval — and reduces risk once you’re on site.
The show is also a brilliant place to knit the project team together. There's the opportunity to reconnect with trusted local suppliers and contractors, meet new specialists, and catch up with former clients to see how their homes are performing.
Those quick chats — with a joiner about a better stair detail, or a glazing rep about improved U-values — can unlock practical improvements to quality, cost and programme. It’s a genuine win-win for homeowners and for the wider Yorkshire construction community.
Across the weekend Townscape's architects will be on hand for free mini-consultations. Bring your plans, photos or simply a brief, and it will sense-check what’s possible on your site, highlight planning considerations, outline likely costs and map next steps. If you’re weighing up options — zinc vs slate, open-plan vs broken-plan, retrofit vs rebuild — the team will walk you through the trade-offs so you can decide with clarity.
What sets Townscape apart is the way it blends creativity with rigorous delivery. Its Harrogate and York teams design homes rooted in local character and are built to last, while focusing on how spaces live day to day: light, storage, acoustics, circulation, thermal comfort and energy performance. Whether you’re upgrading a Victorian terrace in York, extending a family home in Harrogate, or planning a bespoke eco-home on the edge of a village, the team will help you define a clear brief and keep control of quality, programme and budget.
If you’re visiting the Harrogate show this November, come and say hello. Meet the team, book a chat, and explore ideas for your home — with the benefit of ten years at the show, two local studios and a network of Yorkshire specialists behind you.
The Homebuilding & Renovating Show is taking place from October 31 to November 2 at the Harrogate Convention Centre, King's Rd, Harrogate, HG1 5LA.
