There are always lots of events going on in the district, but how do you find out about them, so that you can plan your diary? Here are just a few suggestions …..

• Your local newspaper has a  list of the current week’s events:  see the ‘What’s On’ section
• Bill boards (eg at the junction of Milton Way and Leeds Road on the Stray, and outside Harrogate library) highlight some of the local events.
• Your local library also has listings of local events
• Your local tourist information office
