If you’re having a little trouble answering all the questions – we thought we’d give you a little help.
Scroll down below for the answers!
So here goes, Let’s start with Places….
Did you know Harlow Carr is one of five public gardens around the UK run by RHS?
Harrogate’s war memorial – just across the road from Bettys is called the Cenotaph. We can’t wait for Panto season – we’ve missed you Harrogate Theatre and can’t wait to see Cinderella this winter!
Did you know during World War II trenchers were dug on The Stray, so German planes wouldn’t land there. The beautiful Valley Gardens was created 1946.
Harrogate does very well when it comes to sport. Especially when it comes to cycling; we hosted the UCI Road World Championships in 2019 and the final stage of Tour De France in 2014.
Harrogate is home to some fine sports people too. Jack Laughter trained at The Hydro and won a Gold medal at the Olymics in Diving and the nicest man in football, and our current England Football Manager Gareth Southgate lives close to here too.
