With the lockdown rules easing next week to allow us to meet up in groups of six, or two households, to enjoy al fresco drinking and dining, we took a look at some of the Harrogate bars and pubs which will be opening their outdoor spaces from Monday, April 12, when the rules change and through the rest of that week. Where will you be going first?
5. Winter Gardens Wetherspoon
The Winter Gardens will reopen on Monday, April 12. A statement on its social media reads: "The Winter Gardens on Parliament street will reopen on April 12 for food and drinks.
The Wetherspoons pub will open between 9am and 9pm on Sunday through to Thursday, and between 9am and 10pm on Friday and Saturday."
6. Banyan
Banyan Bar and Kitchen on John street will also reopen Monday. Walk-ins will be accepted, however the bar has recommended making a booking due to high demand.

The Disappearing Chin will be reopening on Tuesday, April 13. A statement on its social media reads: “We will be reopening on TUESDAY 13th from 16.00 as it will be our SECOND BIRTHDAY feels so bizarre we will be 2 and will have been open just over half of that time but we are so excited to be reopening those doors, even if you guys have to sit outside please come and join us in celebrating.
