Things to do in Harrogate
Harrogate has lots of fun things to do in winter. Harrogate has a lot of historical charm and beautiful winter landscapes. Why not take a winter walk in the Valley Gardens, then afterwards enjoy a classic Afternoon Tea with freshly baked cakes and scones at Betty’s Tearooms.
Visit Harrogate’s Winter Food Festivals and pop-up winter markets, featuring local Yorkshire produce, craft beers and delicious seasonal treats.
So bundle up, grab your friends or family, and explore the vibrant events happening right in our backyard this winter!
