Harrogate mums & dads… I need the ultimate insider info 🍃👇
We’re on the hunt for the BEST picnic spots in and around Harrogate for sunny (and slightly chaotic) days out with the kids ☀️🧺
You know the drill… somewhere:
✔️ space for toddlers to run wild
✔️ easy parking (non-negotiable 😅)
✔️ good vibes + decent views
✔️ ideally where you’re not fighting off 300 other picnickers with a sandwich in hand
I’ve got a few favourites already… but I want the proper local gems 👀
Where are you going when the sun actually shows up in Harrogate? Drop your go to picnic spot below ⬇️ and help a very snack hungry community out 🥪😂
