ThoughtBubble Accommodation?

Thumbnail
3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, hope this is allowed!
I plan to attend thoughtbubble this year, and on submitting my pages for the sample script they put out this year.
However I’ve been so far unable to find accommodation in Harrogate that won’t near-break me financially :) so I’m just chancing my arm here, does anyone know of a place to look in the town that might be more budget-friendly or even if there was a spare floor going for a day or so? Any suggestions are much appreciated :)

I’ll be in Harrogate from the evening of the 13th to the morning of the 16th.

Thanks in advance :)

Harrogate's best story?

10 Upvotes

With a town teaming with History, what is something you know for fact or have been told and choose to believe about Harrogate? Think ghost stories, superstitions and plots!

Do NOT let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Affordable short term lets?

4 Upvotes

Downsizing and looking to move to Harrogate but trying to keep chain-free so looking for a 3 month rental (say mid Nov to mid Feb) while we suss out the market/locations etc. The more 'corporate' providers are quoting ridiculous numbers, anyone have any out of the box ideas? I'm thinking 'lodges', people who've moved out but want a property looking after, friend has a place etc. Ideally 2 bedrooms and a whole flat, lodge etc. Any links/ideas welcome - thanks!

Best place for a cinnamon bun?

15 Upvotes

(Not Betty's)

Hi folks. I'm currently 9 months pregnant and suffering with early labour. I just need a pick me up and I crave cinnamon buns.

Might try make some myself for the distraction, but also tempted to order some in or go hunt for some in town.

Can't walk far, so need some good recommendations I can walk directly to.

Bonus points if they are served warm, but it's not necessary.

Only say not Betty's as I can't stand in the queue and I can't afford them on maternity pay. But anything else goes!

What is the glass pyramid about?

Post image
46 Upvotes

I have questions about this building…
- What is it?
- What goes on in there? There’s no signage
- How did they get planning permission for it to be so tall and visible?
- Why is the landscaping so out of keeping with the building? The brick paving looks like it should lead to a 1950s semi-detached

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

4 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

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!
