For those who arn't fans of Riverdale - Camila Mendes is a rising star and her latest film gave #Harrogate a good showing with all the scenes with Will coaching his team the Lions shot on the Harrogate Stray (large open parkland) as well as the scene where Ana sits on a bench and gets paint on her skirt. We are proud to work with film companies and other films shot locally inclulde Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose with Simon Pegg and of course the new seasons of All Creatures Great and Small. We were also proud to welcome Henry Cavill to Harrogate with the amazing Witcher team when they filmed large parts of Season 2 at Fountains Abbey during bad weather and multiple night shoots - though leading to majestic and beautiful Abbey shots.

For those keen on Cyling we are happy to announce a new interconnected cycle route in North Yorkshire. This links up new and old routes with the majority being off road.

Grane Cafe opened this week on Station Parade harrogate. This new independant Coffee house, specialist food shop and purveyor of artizan chocolates is bringing something new to the independant coffee house scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit valentines chocolates (as shown in the picture) and there were lots of lovely treats on display.

In this return to the Genre of what in my opinion is a Cosy Crime style mystry we have The Christmas Guest. Starting off in the old tradition of a country house murder mystry this compelling story changes from 1 murder and a country house cast. However in a technique I have not seen before there is twist with the murderer, twist in the cast and a twist in the narrator and it is very well done. This book is avaliable in paper back, Kindle and Audible.

Those with keen eyes spotted up and coming star #Camila Mendes filming in #Harrogate last year for the soon to be released (9th Feb) film Upgraded. This film which has overtones of Working Girl (Harrison Ford and Melanie Griffith 1988) where in taking her boss's seat in first class she fools a fellow traveller concerning her position. Hilarity ensues. Filmed almost exclusively in the UK.

Another wonderful show on for three nights at the Harrogate theatre in the town centre. To book tickets for this event go to harrogatetheatre.co.uk or you can call 01423 502116.

Performing in the centre of Harrogate a one night special, we are a 5 minute strolling distance to the Harrogate theatre. Tickets are priced at £26 and you can book tickets for this event at harrogatetheatre.co.uk.

In the tradition of Harrogate and Agatha Christie this bright offer from Benedict Brown takes us back to the Golden Era of Crime the 1920's with this classic detective who done it? - it is avaliable in paperback, audio and kindle. The Story starts with the murder of 1 lady and pulls Lord Edgington a former police officer and his grandson into the fray determined to ferret out the murderer. Will admit its a little slow to get going compared to other similar stories - but more than makes up for it with cunning plot twists and small side adventures. All in all a pleasant read.
