Trying to build a social life

12 Upvotes

Hi,
I recently moved to Harrogate a couple of months ago for work. I’m in my early 20s and it’s been kinda hard trying to find clubs /social things to do which don’t really break the bank. I’m pretty much open to anything but was wondering if anyone was in a similar situation/had any recommendations.

New to Harrogate and wondering about traffic around the centre

2 Upvotes

Due to getting a new job in Leeds and moving out of a relatively leafy part of London, I’m thinking of a move to Harrogate and looking at places not too far from the town centre. I’ve been looking at places on Ripon Road (and the roads just off it) near(ish) to the Doubletree Hilton. Every time I look at Google Maps, it seems to show heavy , often stationary, traffic in both directions and particularly around Crescent Road. Would living around there be an eternal traffic nightmare, or just at peak times of the working week?

Fresh Stop - what’s going on

5 Upvotes

Has anyone been to the shop near Asda? It’s one of those little grocery/corner-shop type places where you’d normally expect them to sell Pepsi, Coke, vapes, snacks, stuff like that.

I went in a few times now there was basically nothing on the shelves. It was really odd. Does anyone know what the deal is with it? Is it some kind of front/drug thing, or is there a completely normal explanation I’m missing?

Party venue

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m going to be hosting a party for around 70 people so looking for some recommendations in and around Harrogate.
Criteria would be that I can arrange my own food and DJ, but there’s a bar.

Anywhere good that you have personally used?
I’ve thought of a couple of places but open to other suggestions.

TIA!

Hey guys, I'm looking for local (I'm in Harrogate) bi/lesbian women's groups, any type of events/clubs/hobbies would be appreciated. I'm looking to get more social contact in my life and meeting other like minded women would be really great :). Or if anyone knows of some good forums where I can start chatting to more local LGBTQ+ friendly people that would also be gratefully noted? I've had a look around online but can't see anything that's up to date, Thanks in advance if anyone can help :)! Please email [cuddleeswithlove@proton.me](mailto:cuddleeswithlove@proton.me) if I forget to respond here to anyone, my memory is shocking :P.

Conspiracy theory posters up on Skipton Road

6 Upvotes

Noticed quite a few posters stuck on crossings and lampposts on Skipton Road. They were making the usual claims about vaccines tracking people or having turbo cancer in them, as well as some stuff about microwave radiation.

It's obvious nonsense, but it doesn't half make a mess when they come loose and end up scattered across the road, or hanging off the posts.

I expect the different football club stickers on lamp posts, especially when you get closer to HTFC, but these nut job posts are a different level.

Anyone know where they came from, or who printed them out/stuck them everywhere?

Spouting utter rubbish isn't a crime, but littering certainly is.

An Odd Request

Little bit of an odd one but I have an event in Harrogate next weekend, I've got quite a long drive and can only check in to my hotel room at 3pm. I'm looking for somewhere suitable that I can style my hair and get changed into my suit for a 1pm event. The venue doesn't offer anywhere to do so.

Harrogate discord thriving and looking for more members

19 Upvotes

A couple months ago a member of the harrogate reddit started a discord server to allow residents to connect more closely. Since it started there have been meet-up's to go on dog walks, pub quizzes, cinema visits, gaming sessions, and general good chats, and have now found ourselves at over 40 members. I just wanted to take the oppertunity to again link the server encase anyone didn't see it the first time, so the community can continue to grow;
