Harrogate Coach Holiday Weekend: Sunday 28th April – Thursday 2nd May 2024

Our destination is the 115-bed historic Crown Hotel in Harrogate. The hotel is situated just
north of the town centre on the edge of the Montpellier District to make us feel at home. The
town centre, Betty’s Tearooms and a Wetherspoons in the old Winter Gardens are all close 
at hand. The renowned Valley Gardens with its themed gardens, floral displays and historic 
buildings is just round the corner. The town is well situated for walking, being close to Lower 
Wharfedale and Nidderdale. In addition, there is an abundance of nearby attractions such as 
Fountains Abbey, Bolton Abbey, Ripley Castle, Harlow Carr Gardens, Harewood House, and 
Knaresborough Town/Castle. The cost of the weekend will be £375 for those sharing a twin 
or double room, which includes four nights half board accommodation, coach travel, the 
services of the driver all weekend, and tips. There is a single room supplement of £25/night, 
giving a total of £475 for one of these. There are eight single rooms available, which will be 
allocated by ballot, and twenty double/twin rooms.

High Visibility Waistcoats

Section 13 of the “Guidance for Walks Leaders” on the Club’s website suggests that “in bad 
weather or darkness the leader and backmarker should consider wearing hi-visibility clothing 
or a reflective arm band”. The committee has agreed to purchase two high visibility 
waistcoats for each walk leader who wants them. One for the leader and one to lend to a 
backmarker.

Details for ordering waistcoats are in the full programme.
