Oh Summer holidays, how we love thee! We think back to the excitement we beheld at the prospect of six weeks off from school and complete freedom being only moments away. ‘School’s out for summer!’ we would chant as our parents would shudder with panic; how would they possibly keep us entertained for six whole weeks? By day five you can guarantee that there would be whines of ‘I’m bored’ filling the hallways and bouncing off siblings. And while school holidays fill us with nostalgia and cause us to reminisce about the days of yonder, for those who are parents, the holidays are a reality of ‘what do I do with my child?’ We can’t guarantee this advice will keep the whines at bay but we do hope that the activities we suggest are enjoyable for you too, and let’s be honest that is really important!

Harrogate holds a special place in the hearts of Sass & Belle HQ staff. Each year we visit the beautiful city for the Home & Gift fair, all part of tradeshow seasons for our parent company RJB Stone. And while visiting our stand is obviously the best thing to do when you’re in Harrogate, it’s only there twice a year. What a shame! Luckily for you there are tonnes of fun things to do in the North Yorkshire gem. Here’s a list that will keep you busy and entertained, whatever time of year you go!

Bank holidays are a rare treat but in the beautiful month of May, our weekend is extended by an extra day, twice! Lucky us. How we spend our weekend, however, is very weather dependant. Particularly when you consider Britain’s track record and current forecast! We explore the best things to do this weekend, come rain or shine.
