“We are sandwiched between the annual Harrogate Christmas Market, the weekend before and the huge Country Living Fair, the weekend after

"But what we offer is true independent shopping in a great (weather proof) location.

"Arlo & Jacob is a beautiful setting and they have been ever so supportive. Plus, we get to try out all their gorgeous sofas.”

Guest won’t go hungry or thirsty either with a choice of local food & drink suppliers including Napoli Wood Fired Pizzas and Yorkshire Heart wine and beer producers who are based just a few miles from Harrogate.

Head Brewer, Tim from Yorkshire Heart said, “It’s our second year attending Harrogate Tribe, An Indie Christmas, and this year we’ll be serving our lovely mulled wine which is grown right here in Yorkshire. We love the indie vibe and the girls at Harrogate Tribe know how to put on a good party.”
