Happy New Year


Hello again. This is just a short post to say that we hope you have all had a really lovely Christmas. We were closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day and have been quite busy since we re-opened on 27th December. And as things have sold our dealers have been busy bringing new and interesting stock in to replenish. Everyone is still in the festive mood and there is a nice buzz about the place.

It is looking good and there is lots to see. Come along and have a look, we would love to see you.

We are open today (Sunday) and tomorrow (New Year's Eve) until 5pm, when we are off to prepare for the New Year celebrations. Then we are open again on New Years Day from 10am to 4pm. We are back to our normal daily 9am to 5pm openings from 2nd January.

In the mean time we would like to wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Very best wishes for 2013 from all of us at Harrogate Antique Centre.

Hello and Welcome.....

Welcome to Harrogate Antique Centre's fantastic new blog.

Harrogate Antique Centre is a new and exciting antique buyers paradise on Leeds Road at Pannal, Harrogate. We have been open now since June and are easy to find, being on the main A61 just before Pannal Golf Club, or just after it if you are coming towards Harrogate! We are quite a big centre, with around 50 dealers, so there's a fair bit to see. Stock ranges from period oak to modern classics with everything in between. This often includes some quirky stuff, for instance at the moment amongst all the furniture, ceramics, glassware, boxes, vintage clothing and other antiques we have a stained glass Jesus, a huge Union Jack and a Victorian Taxidermy Cupboard with a menagerie of birds and animals inside. And we have that rarity in Harrogate - Parking - Lots of it and its FREE to our customers.

Inside the centre we have a fantastic Bistro style cafe - Woody's Bistro - owned and run by Christian, a talented young chef. The food is lovely, made fresh on the premises daily. The seating is plentiful, with squishy sofas as well as proper tables and chairs, and the ambience is good. It is perfect for sitting down after a good look around and contemplating your finds. Also on the site we have two outlets for Harrogate Interiors, so we really are well worth a look!

In this blog I hope to be able to introduce you to the centre, to the owners and staff, to the dog and to the dealers and their stock.

The blog is also to tell you whats going to be happening. Who is coming, when we are having parties, when we are doing valuations. Just generally keeping you in touch. I hope you will look and come along and see us, we are friendly and we would love to see you.
