Schools across Yorkshire broke up for the six-week holidays last week, and that coincides with a flurry of summer activities across Yorkshire.
The lifestyle team are committed not only to covering the latest events, but also to shining a spotlight on some of the amazing individuals and businesses that call Harrogate and the district home.
Harrogate is becoming something of a classic and supercar hotspot, last week we visited Grantley Hall for the 2024 Yorkshire Elegance supercar show, where over 40 premium vintage and classic cars were on display.
Preparations for Knaresborough’s arts and culture extravaganza are well underway, and Rowena Jackson, the Spoken Word Director of feva filled us in on everything from the festival’s history to what people can expect from this year’s event.
Whether you’re an interior design enthusiast, or would simply love a nosy around some of the beautiful houses in town, our interview with a Harrogate family documenting their home renovation journey might be just the thing for you.
We’re also not afraid to get stuck in when needed; our feature on local beekeeper Sarah Haynes required donning the full outfit to get close to the colony, and experience first-hand the joy she feels looking after these clever insects.
Luckily for all those grandparents, parents and carers who may be panicking about what to do to entertain the brood over the school break, we’ve got an upcoming article highlighting some free local activities - look out for that being published soon.
