Suzanne Knowles the owner and proprietor of Jakes has teemed up with OnTSofa to share musical acts in an intimate dining experience - for those who haven't heard of OnTSofa they are a 2 man team of Ben Davis and Jason Odle who's unique idea is to help artists starting out to produce a Youtube Vidio "OnTSofa" this is done with no effects or studio tweeking - with their now considerable following all over the world this can make the career of budding artists. Esmee Denters is a perfect example of an artist who has made it without the initial help of the big recording companies - regularly taping herself and self publishing on YouTube - She now has a considerable following all over the world with top 10 hits all over Europe and a Number 3 in the UK we are proud and pleased to welcome her and her fellow artists Skinny Living and Fabian Belassie to this up and coming venue.

Harrogate's dedicated round table team have pulled together a super selection of Beers for their 24th Annual Round Table Beer Festival.

Tickets are from £15 which includes 8 pints of Beer, a tasting notes booklet and commemorative glass.


All Barrels are sponsored by a local business and all funds go towards various local charities with over £42,000 raised in 2013 - so what better way to raise funds than to raise a pint of beer? 

Dates are 27th, 28th and 29th of March and there are still rooms available at The Crown Hotel which is the venue for this event at time of posting - if they are full there are lots of other B&B's and Hotels within a short walk.

Also during the evening there will be quality live entertainment at The Crown so you can make the festival into a weekend getaway.
