Plan your Perfect Winter Getaway

​
Harrogate is the perfect destination for an entertaining getaway with a calendar packed with events and entertainment, whatever your preferences are.  And, of course, The Camberley, The Lodge and Camberley Cottages provide the perfect base for your short break or holiday in the area.   Just minutes from the town centre, you will be just a short walk away from your chosen entertainment when you stay with us. 

Check out some of the great events that are taking place this winter.

Catch the Pantomime before it ends on 18 January.  This year’s panto is Jack and the Beanstalk and it’s bound to be a fun evening whichever date you choose. 

For those who prefer comedy, we have the regular Hyena Lounge taking place on 24 January and 7 March,   Anna Soden appears at the Studio Theatre on 7 February,  whilst Sara Pascoe and Dave Spikey appear at the main theatre on 6 and 27 February respectively.

Music lovers will be spoilt for choice with shows as diverse as The Drifters, who are at the Royal Hall on 25 January, Mozart and Strauss at Holy Trinity Church, Ripon,  a tribute to Robbie Williams on 7 February and the hugely popular Classic Rock Show at the Royal Hall on 12 February.  This one tends to sell out quickly so don’t delay if you want tickets.  Then, looking forward to April, the fabulous Fairport Convention will play at Harrogate Theatre. 

Banff Mountain Film Festival tour lands in Harrogate on 18 February if you are a film lover, and for fans of dance, we have Tap Factory on 19 February at the Royal Hall.  You can find out more about all of these events, and so many more, as well as book your tickets, here.  

A little further afield, in Leeds, just a 30-minute drive away, is the First Direct Arena.  There is really convenient parking very close by and some great shows are coming to the arena this winter.  For fans of Strictly, you won’t want to miss the Strictly Live Tour.  This runs over two nights, 29 and 30 January. 

For comedy fans, why not book tickets to see Greg Davies on 22 March?  Looking forward into April, the 17th sees the incredibly talented Yungblud take to the stage on the very first date in his Idols tour.  To book tickets for these, or any of the other fabulous acts playing at the arena, click here.

Winter also sees some great events hosted by RHS Harlow Carr, including a workshop on plant grafting, which will take place on 29 January, promising to be both hands-on and instructive. Also available at RHS Harlow Carr is a Terrarium workshop on 12 February and on 20 February there are two workshops where you can create items for the garden from willow.  For those new to gardening, or those with a new garden to plan, a workshop on garden planning is being held on 28 February.   To book places on these, and other events held at the garden, or to book tickets to visit this stunning garden during the winter, click here.

A Rock, Gem and Bead fair is taking place at Pavilions Harrogate, which is a short distance from the centre of town by car, with plenty of parking available.  You can find out more here.  

Once you have visited the fair, we highly recommend lunch at the nearby Fodder restaurant and a wander through their beautifully stocked farm shop which sells a wide range of locally produced items ranging from meat to mugs.   We highly recommend the fruit scones or the delicious cakes, if you do decide to stop at Fodder for lunch.  Check them out here.  

With so much to do, Harrogate is the perfect destination for a winter getaway. Whether you’re looking to enjoy live music, comedy, or learn a new skill in the garden, there’s something here to suit every taste.  Alternatively, if you are just looking for a quiet getaway after the hustle and bustle of Christmas, we've got your back.  With our comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts and a range of walks, shopping options and delightful eating establishments, all within easy walking distance of The Camberley, The Lodge and Camberley Cottages, we are the perfect place to hunker down, get cosy, relax and unwind. 

Book your stay directly with us and choose your perfect room (subject to availability) in which to enjoy a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.  Or, if you prefer to be more independent, book one of our lovely Camberley Cottages, for a luxurious self-catering break in Harrogate. 

Plan your visit today, and let Harrogate’s rich culture and stunning scenery provide the ultimate escape from the everyday!
