John Fox Planning ahead with the Chair of the newly formed Harrogate Business Improvement District and more on a new exciting partnership with The Harrogate Review.

10

John Fox has lived all his life in Harrogate, working as a Quantity Surveyor in the Construction Industry until his retirement in 2008. He was involved with local politics from 1973 to 2018, serving as a Harrogate Borough Councillor for 27 years and becoming an Honorary Alderman last year. He left local politics to Chair the Harrogate BID (Business Improvement District) which was voted in for a 5 year term last November. We caught up with him to find out what the BID means for Harrogate.

How did you come to be involved in the BID? When I was Mayor of the Borough of Harrogate in 2008/9 businesses were struggling to raise the money needed for Christmas lights so they asked me to help. We went on to form Harrogate at Christmas which raises money every year to make sure we have Christmas lights. But after 10 years we wanted to find a way to improve and extend them.

Following the Switch-on in 2016 I was having a coffee with Dawn and Andrea, the Managers from Marks and Spencer and Primark who suggested a BID, which could deliver what we wanted and a whole lot more. The rest is history.

For those that don’t know, can you explain what a BID is and why Harrogate will benefit from having one?

BIDs are an arrangement whereby businesses come together and decide which improvements they feel could be made in their town or city centre, how they will implement these improvements and what it will cost them.

BIDs are financed and controlled by the businesses within the selected area. BIDs deliver additional projects and services over and above those already provided by public services.

Town centres are facing unprecedented commercial pressures. Online and out of town competition, demands on accessibility, business taxation, high rents and a squeeze on spending and investment are dramatically changing the way town centres need to operate and promote themselves.

Harrogate in many ways has weathered past storms and remained prosperous and a desirable place to do business, but it is increasingly clear that the challenges facing both the town centre as a whole and those individual businesses, small and large, are mounting.

The Harrogate BID is a business body that will ensure the town responds to these challenges. It will ensure Harrogate is recognised and celebrated as an attractive destination, standing out locally, regionally and nationally. It will maintain and develop a diverse and interesting offer whilst providing a quality environment where people can access the town centre easily and efficiently. It will increase footfall, spend and dwell time in the town by enhancing Harrogate’s profile as a destination both for people to use and others to visit as well as businesses to work

11

and invest in.

You’ve partnered up with the Harrogate Review to help promote events and business activity in Harrogate. What was the thinking behind this and how will levy payers be able to benefit?

We see the Harrogate Review as a high quality publication with a good reach and distribution.

Through our partnership we will be able to promote our four key areas of the town. Based on the highly successful Montpellier Quarter, we have supported the businesses in the Kings Road area to form the Kings Quarter, we have created the West Park Quarter and finally the central Victoria Quarter.

We will encourage Visit Harrogate, Harrogate Convention Centre, Tourist Information Centre and event organisers to use the Harrogate Review to promote the businesses and events. The Levy payers, who finance the Harrogate BID, will be able to get discounted space in the magazine Our ultimate aim is to increase the circulation and the frequency of the publication. We are looking forward to a successful relationship with Festival Publications What other projects are the BID backing in the coming months?

We have just launched the Harrogate map. We have partnered with Welcome to Yorkshire and have a 12 month plan to promote Harrogate at events locally, regionally, nationally and worldwide. We will be at the Great Yorkshire

Show on the Welcome to Yorkshire stand to promote Harrogate. We are sponsoring their Gin Trail, Pubs and Breweries Trail and the Yorkshire Big Playground.

We are also sponsoring the upcoming Eat:Drink Harrogate Guide. This was highly successful last year and this year the guide will be split up to represent the Harrogate BID’s Quarters, with discounted profiles for levy payers Another project, Art in the Alleyways will improve our town centre environment by installing festoon lighting and artwork in pedestrian links around the town. We are also working hard to launch the Harrogate Gift card this year.

The BID represents the interests of a range of different businesses and organisations, how do you approach the challenge of keeping everyone happy? Are there key aims that will benefit everyone?

It is difficult to please all the business sectors at the same time. That is why the Board carefully select projects to ensure that we try to assist every sector of the business community. But we believe that the emphasis on marketing benefits all the Levy Payers Finally, what do you love most about Harrogate?

I feel that I am so lucky to live in Harrogate with so much open space, all the attractive buildings and diverse businesses. Why would I want to live anywhere else?

HARROGATE BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

Harrogate Business Improvement District is proud to sponsor The Harrogate Review magazine

BID maps out Harrogate town centre with West Park Quarter launch Harrogate BID (Business Improvement District) has launched a new visitor map which it hopes will help drive footfall to businesses across the town centre.

The new pocket-sized guide, which is now available from the Tourist Information Centre, on Crescent Road, and businesses in the town centre, has been produced to promote the town’s four retail quarters – West Park, Victoria, Montpellier and Kings – and lists all the bars, cafes, restaurants and shops in each Quarter.

Additionally, Harry Satloka, who is better known as Harrogate’s Free Walking Tour, will be carrying bundles of them in his backpack to hand out to visitors at the end of each of his four daily excursions.

14

Harrogate BID chairman John Fox said: “As a result of the popularity of the Montpellier Quarter, one of our first initiatives was to look at the town and create another three Quarters, which we subsequently did.

“This has proved a very popular move and one that has been welcomed by traders in the new Quarters. On the back of this we have now produced a map for visitors and residents.

“Whilst visitors coming to the town for the first time may only stay in the central Victoria Quarter, we are encouraging them to visit the other three Quarters, all of which are unique, and all well worth exploring.”

John Fox added: “The main goal of the BID is to boost the local economy by increasing the number of people buying goods and services from businesses in the town centre.”

BID backs food & drink guide Sally Monkman from Boho Chic, who has been trading on West Park for 11 years, said: “We are delighted to support the new initiative of the four quarters, and we hope by promoting the map and supporting each other, customers will find more independent stores that they didn’t know were there.”

Keren Shaw from Weetons Food Hall said: “We are delighted to be involved in the BID story. The map will remind people as to what fantastic businesses there are in Harrogate as well as opening their eyes to the businesses they didn’t know existed.”

Nathan George, general manager of the West Park Hotel, said: “We are in full support of Harrogate BID and think the map will be a great addition to the town in helping bring visitors and tourists up to the West Park area.”

Harrogate BID has been announced as the lead sponsors for this year’s Eat Drink Harrogate guide. The guide was launched last year and is designed to promote Harrogate’s food and drink industry to residents and visitors.

Support from the BID will see the guide improved and expanded to feature more venues and include a range of useful visitor information.

Eligible businesses within the BID boundary will also qualify for a significant discount on profiles and advertising in the guide.

John Fox, Chair of Harrogate Business said, “Following on from the success of last year’s Eat:Drink Harrogate magazine, we are extremely pleased to be the main sponsor of the 2019 edition. It supports one of the main sectors of the local economy and we want to work with Festival Publications to develop the magazine further” Further information about the Harrogate BID is available from its website, www.harrogatebid.co.uk

Tom Fozard Roosters Brewery Established in 1993 when most ales on the market were brown, Rooster’s Brewing Co continues to go from strength-to-strength in a fastpaced industry. Rachel Auty caught up with Tom Fozard, Commercial Director, to find out more about what they’ve been up to recently and what they still have in store for the people of Harrogate.

24

You’ve recently moved site. Where were you before and why was the move necessary?

Rooster’s originally started life as a one-man-band on Claro Road in Harrogate, before growing and moving to the current in Knaresborough in late 2000. We’re in the process of moving the business back to Harrogate and into a larger building on Hornbeam Park, which is a move we’ve been planning for a couple of years now and one born out of having outgrown the existing site, while also allowing us to develop the business in new ways.

What were you looking for in a new place and was the new pad easy to find?

We had a list of needs and wants and kept our options open while looking for the right place to move to and are delighted to have found what we see as the perfect building and location, ticking every box along the way. We set out to make sure the brewery remained as local to Harrogate and Knaresborough as possible. With neither town built on industry, however, larger industrial buildings are hard to come by. After almost a year of searching, we struck up a dialogue with our new landlord at Hornbeam Park about a different building that eventually proved not to be suitable. He thankfully kept our details to one side and got in touch a few months later when the previous tenants of our new home decided to move on.

How long did the move take? Did everything go to plan?

Having found our dream site last summer, we started planning the move and began to develop the new site once we got the keys at the start of December; laying new drainage and fit-forpurpose flooring, ready for our brand new, UKmanufactured brew plant to be installed. All being well, this will be done and dusted and production completely moved from Knaresborough to Harrogate by the end of August. We also spent the first four months of the year developing part of the building to become an onsite taproom; pouring sixteen different Rooster’s beers across cask and keg, as well as a selection wine, cider and gin (hot and cold soft drinks and takeout beers also available!). Having visited and enjoyed

more than my fair share of other breweries’ onsite bars during various trips to the States over the past decade, it’s a concept I’ve become very familiar with and one I’m particularly excited to Rooster’s has been able to bring to Harrogate.

Locals might recognise a friendly face behind the bar in the shape of Josh Molloy, formerly of Major Tom’s (another fine, independent Harrogate bar), who’s joined Rooster’s to oversee a fantastic bar team as our taproom manager. As an independent business, we’re delighted with the support we’ve received from both consumers and businesses so far – it’s testament to the increased level of community Harrogate is developing a reputation for having. The taproom opened at the start of May and has already proven to be a hit – especially our huge south-facing beer garden, which is a bonafide sun trap!

So you’re officially open for business at the new site. Is there still more to do?

Yes. The taproom’s open five days a week. We’re working on adding a food offering to the mix, which should be in place by the end of June and will begin running regular brewery tours once the dust has settled on the move. The taproom has a huge viewing window that overlooks the brewery, so customers will eventually be able to enjoy a beer that’s will have been brewed on the other side of the glass a few days beforehand, all while watching our brewing team hard at work! In the meantime, until the brewery’s fully operational, folk can come along and keep an eye on how the installation’s progressing. Speaking of which, we’ve got the logistical headache of moving our entire production and everything that goes with it across Harrogate to come!

Do you have plans for more development in the space once this first bit is completed?

Phase two of the taproom is to develop space we have above into an area that we’ll be able to use to host events, festivals, functions and private parties - something we’ll turn our attention to a little later in the summer. We’re also installing a smaller brew kit that’ll be used to brew limited edition, small batch beers to serve at the taproom and share with some of our key trade customers.

How will the move affect the beers you produce?

25

Do you have any plans for new projects and/ collaborations?

The new kit is state of the art and will allow us to be able to brew twice a day (something we’ve not been able to do before), as well as allowing us to explore a wider range of styles. We’re also in the envious position of having enough space to develop a barrel-aging project, which has been something we’ve been keen to get going for a number of years now. This will follow later in the year, with the first beers likely to be released in 2020. Once things have settled down a bit, we’ll be lining up plenty of collaborations too!

Rooster’s continues to win awards locally, nationally and internationally, yet remains proudly family-run and independent. Why is this important to you?

When my family bought Rooster’s in 2011 we inherited a brewery with a small, yet incredibly strong reputation; one that felt like a well-kept secret. I think we’ve managed to grow the reputation over the past eight years, without losing site of the brewery’s founding ethos of brewing clean, interesting and well-balanced, quality beer on a consistent basis - winning our fair share of awards along the way. To have achieved this with my dad and brother, as well as a close-knit team of equally enthusiastic and passionate people, is hugely satisfying.

The beer landscape has evolved hugely over recent years, and you’ve been an active part of it all. What do you feel is the best and worst thing about beer today?

The beer scene has evolved and expanded massively over the past five years. In that time

26

I think Rooster’s has managed to strike a good balance of being innovative and forward-thinking, producing a series of memorable one-off beers and collaborations, while also developing a range of mainstay beers that consumers can be both excited by and come to rely upon. Perhaps that’s one thing I’d be critical of in the modern beer world; too many brewers and consumers seem to be content with constantly chasing the ‘new’, instead of recognising quality in consistency.

What’s the best beer you’ve had in the last 12-months, aside from your own of course?

There’s a huge list of honourable mentions, but I’m going to go with a beer called Dark Lord – an outrageous barrel-aged imperial stout that’s impossible to come across in the UK, an American friend shared with me and some friends during one of our low-key ‘beer club’ nights.

I’d heard amazing things about this beer and it didn’t disappoint. (N.B. If you’re ever planning your own beer club night, make sure you’ve an American on the guest list!)

Where would you like to see Rooster’s in another 25 years’ time?

Yikes – tough question! I hope we’ll still be producing top quality beer and continuing to do Harrogate proud.

Elevator pitch time! In one line why should people pay the new Rooster’s tap a visit?

There’s nowhere else like it in Harrogate!

Rooster’s Taproom is a short walk from Hornbeam Park train station, behind Harrogate Climbing Centre and is open Weds to Sun every week. See roosters.co.uk for more.

Fit for a champion Guy Kesteven rides the UCI finishing lap

From 22-29th of September this year the best road cyclists from all over the globe will be vying to cross the finish line on West Park first (or fastest) for the honour of wearing the rainbow striped jersey of World Champion.

The 14km finishing lap around the mansions, landmarks, parks and rolling countryside of central and western Harrogate is a proper test of skill and fitness too. But what is it actually like to ride? Our new UCI Road World Championships correspondent and local bike expert Guy Kesteven took advantage of the closed roads of the Tour de Yorkshire’s recent visit to get an exclusive legal lap in on a course you can never normally ride.

28

The reason why it’s such an exclusive course is clear as soon as you cross the start finish line on West Park heading towards the pointy end of the one way arrows. Cutting the corner on Prince of Wales roundabout, multi lap racers (varying from 2 to 7 depending on their category and how far through the Dales they’ve already ridden) will find the feed zone.

On race week you’ll also find the Fan Park connected to town with a temporary footbridge and a free shuttle service to Cycle Expo Yorkshire, the official show of the UCI Road World Championships at the Yorkshire Event Centre.

From here the gradually rising ramp of Otley road brings the legs to simmering point as it tops out over Harlow Hill. Then it’s a power dive to the flat out straight towards Beckwithshaw trying to defend position or work to the front of the pack before things get really tasty.

Pot Bank is the first technical challenge with a combination of increasingly steepening slope (max 18%) and off camber switchback that are real test of nerve, handling skill and tyre traction.

Maintaining speed through this section is crucial as a short kick climb turns into a steady pull all the way to Pennypot roundabout. Then it’s another potentially treacherous descent towards Oak Beck, with an increasing gradient, a hump into an off camber turn and then a switchback turn over the bridge that needs to be taken as fast as possible to slingshot you up the hill and back into town.

After the grunt back up to the edge of Harrogate it’s another drawn out drag back up to the top of the course at Pine Woods before diving left and plunging all the way down the side of Valley Gardens to the Pump Room Museum.

It’ll be the whiff of burning brakes not sulphur water in the air in September though as riders anchor hard before cranking it over into the off camber hairpin that fires you back up Cornwall Road. If it’s damp it doesn’t take much to overstep grip here and all the white paint on the road poses an extra slippery challenge in wet weather as I found out when I span the rear wheel accelerating hard uphill on my Tour De Yorkshire sortie.

29

Lizzie Deignan powering up one of the many climbs on the Harrogate circuit.

Image: John Walker The climb out of this dip will likely be fast enough to fry legs on the first lap, let alone the 7th.

Thankfully the wide boulevards of Duchy and Kent Road offer some respite and a last chance to shuffle race positions things get serious again.

This World Championships course doesn’t simply drop straight down into the Parliament Street climb like the Tour De France did in 2014. Instead riders will have to bank hard right to funnel into the narrow Swan Road, curving left under the ‘red kite’ one km to go banner before trying to carry as much speed as possible through the corner past Hayles Bar. If you’re not on the front at this point you’ve got a real fight on your hands to get into contention for a win, as there’s only a couple of hundred metres past the Royal Baths before the hard right onto Parliament Street.

There’s just enough gradient to make the last 500m significantly harder than a flat sprint but that won’t stop the winners coming past Betty’s and the Cenotaph at 50kph before a final 60kph plus charge to the line and the chance of rainbow glory.

With ‘only’ 245m of rise and fall per lap it’s

30

certainly not as brutal as the previous two Worlds courses at Bergen in Norway and Innsbruck in Austria but offers the chance for all rounders who enjoy the European classics to prevail.

It’s going to be a hell of a set or races to watch, if you want a virtual taste of what the world’s best riders will face, then check out my on bike video of the lap at www.visitharrogate.co.uk/ loop-review

‘Harrogate Festivals makes this town playful and pleased to shake its booty’

Lunar Landing One small step for man, and a giant leap for Harrogate International Festivals as it marks the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in style.

A giant art installation from Museum of the Moon features a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and a surround-sound composition created by BAFTA-winning composer, Dan Jones.

With 120dpi detailed NASA imagery projected onto the lunar surface, the moon will measure seven metres in diameter, with each centimetre representing 5km of the moon’s surface.

The awe-inspiring sight, a new touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram, will be in situ at St Wilfrid’s Church from 7-14 July. Jerram, known worldwide for his large scale public artworks, has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe.

The Festival will host a number of its events under the magical moon installation, including a Concert by Candlelight by vocal consort, The Gesualdo Six, offering a little heavenly intervention.

Beer & Bread at Fountains Abbey Celebrating Beer and Bread through the ages at new summer event The monks who lived at Fountains Abbey in the Middle Ages knew what they were doing when it came to the bare essentials. Fountains Mill was used to grind wheat, oats and barley to produce two necessities; beer and bread for everyone who lived there.

The monks passed on their knowledge and today Yorkshire’s food and drink scene is thriving. Beer and bread remain favourites and the National Trust site is collaborating with Leeds Indie Food to celebrate how they’re made and enjoyed today.

Taking place over two weekends in June, (15-16 and 22-23) the new food and drink event will happen beside Fountains Mill, the monastic home of beer and bread at Fountains Abbey. Beer and Bread will be a day time event, featuring local street food, breweries and bakeries, as well as family games in the orchard. There’ll be a chance to learn about the history of the Mill, take a tour of the monastic Brewhouse and Bakehouse, and have a go with dough.

36

Hayley Donaldson from Fountains Abbey said “Fountains Mill was originally a huge monastic watermill and granary, and is one of the only surviving in Europe. In the abbey’s heyday, the monks brewed 60 barrels of ale every 10 days.

At a time when tea and coffee were unheard of and water was insanitary, ale was consumed with all meals. Today, we eat bread and drink beer for pleasure, and Yorkshire is full of bakeries, breweries and street food producers making bread and beer of all kinds.”

Simon Fogal, founder of Leeds Indie Food said: “Fountains Abbey is just an amazing location, with a history to match. And with its long history in the process of making beer and bread, Fountains Mill was the most perfect host for this event. We’re revving up for an exciting weekend celebrating the best local beer and bread and street food, against the inspirational backdrop of this World Heritage Site.”

The event will take place over two weekends; the 15-16 and 22-23 June, between 11 and 5 every day. More details of the local street food and vendors will be released in the next few months.

Street Food The first stallholdersfor Beer & Bread have just been announced, and include food and drink from around the world, celebrating beer and bread in its many forms:

Los Antojitos

Bad Seed Brewery Based in Malton, Bad Seed began as two home brewers, passionate about the beers they made using innovative recipes and high quality ingredients. In 2013 they opened a microbrewery and turned the town into a beacon for hand crafted, full flavour beers, including classic American IPAs and more interesting flavours like Rhubarb Crumble.

Los Antojitos

Sela Bar Pizza Bus

This pop up makes hand-pressed corn tortillas and piles them high with vegan flavours including BBQ sweet potato and red cabbage slaw, Seitan de Barbecoa Estilo yucatan and refried pinto beans.

Sela Bar Pizza bus Possibly the world’s most popular form of bread, this pizza is served from a 1996 Mercedes Vario. The Pizza Bus tours the country serving hand pulled pizza, including favourites truffle mushroom and chorizo.

Luigi Street Food Luigi specialises in small batches of handmade pasta, bruschetta and other Italian delicacies bursting with fresh flavours.

Doh Hut

Doh Hut Not all dough needs to be savoury, and Doh Hut’s sweet doughnuts are so good they won British Street Food of the Year award in 2018. Flavours include The Creme Brûlée, which is a doughnut filled crème patissiere, drenched with torched caster sugar on top to create a caramel snap.

Women On Tap Festival Harrogate-based Women On Tap is now recognised across the UK. The third successful annual festival took place at selected venues across Harrogate and beyond between 30th April and 5th May 2019.

This year the headline event grew from 10 events in 2018 to 25 events over 5 days in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Malton and Ilkley.

The events programme included Beer School – a series of five sessions over the five days, each with a shifting focus on traditional and modern day beer, devised by Women On Tap and hosted by Nichola Bottomley.

Also featured was live comedy from Maisie Adam plus a special Women in Comedy night, music from Hayley Gaftarnick, Gina McCann, Tamzene, Fran Bundey, Sarah Carey, Chloe Hawes, Maisie, Laura Kindelan, and Ellie Hunzinger (The Paper Waits).

Events pairing beer with cheese and other food, beer yoga, a Women in Literature book club and more.

All events are held at selected beer spaces, chosen for their commitment to quality independent beer and all-round hospitality.

New for 2019 was Beer For All - a day of research, discussion and debate held at Harrogate Theatre and attracting a national audience and leading names in UK beer. The focus for the day was equality, diversity and accessibility in beer, with some important themes emerging and further projects planned.

Women On Tap is a non-profit social enterprise.

In order to help fund the 2019 festival headline sponsorship came from Manchester-based brewer Cloudwater, with a number of other leading northern beer names also pledging support.

Founded in Harrogate in 2017, Women On Tap presents devised experiences fusing beer, women and the arts in order to raise the profile of women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. An annual beer and arts festival plus a programme of yearround events and collaborations across the region all showcase exceptional beer, creative talent & inspirational women. www.womenontap.co.uk

Beer For All Conference The first of its kind, #BeerForAll is a 1-day event at the heart of the Women On Tap 2019 festival in the stunning grade II listed Harrogate Theatre.

Hear leading industry and consumer voices collide for a day of fascinating research, open discussion & importanta debate around equality, diversity & accessibility in beer Britain has one of the lowest percentages of female beer drinkers in the world, despite the much-lauded craft beer boom. What’s more while there’s been a shift towards equality in the industry - there’s been very little change in who’s drinking beer over the last decade.

Annabel Smith from Dea Latis will kickoff the day by presenting some insightful research findings on women’s attitudes and behaviours around beer. A day of thoughtprovoking talks and interactive sessions will follow with some of the key names in the beer industry, alongside influential consumer voices. The day will culminate in a panel discussion and audience Q&A from the main stage, hosted by Annabel.

Confirmed speakers so far include Annabel Smith (Dea Latis), Jaega Wise (Wild Card), and Paul Jones (Cloudwater).

Vegetarian Option My girlfriend is vegetarian. I think she would be vegan, other than the fact approximately 97% of her nutritional intake is gathered from pizza; given that she leaves the crusts, full vegan would be a reach for her. What this inevitably means is I increasingly eat vegetarian food. This isn’t as onerous as it might seem, because meat eating has always been one of those things I just don’t want to think about too much; sliding into casual vegetarianism has been pretty easy. My plan is: I eat meat if it is in the clearance section, as I don’t want to see it get wasted, and on occasional instances when I am wasted, I sometimes have meat because my conscience has been drunkened by strong liquors.

One of the things I have noticed is that, whilst a great deal of meat evangelists seem to think vegans are taking over the world, there are still a great deal of places that still seem to think it’s ok to just offer one vegetarian option. For me however, vegetarian options are just that, simply MORE options and more choice, and I think that’s to be encouraged.

Option Ve is a cafe on Mayfield Grove at the junction with Mayfield Terrace. This place really nails the concept of vegetarian options because whilst it is mainly a vegetarian menu, there are some meat options to be had there too. I expect a lot of vegetarian places suffer because oftentimes in your group there will be Barry who, in-between struggling for breath, will tell you he’s not eating anywhere that serves just rabbit food.

The direction they have taken at Option Ve means everyone can get something they’ll like. Meat eaters are not limited to just one choice. At a lot of places that offer a vegetarian option, that isn’t the case; there is often just one veggie option, and it’s usually something with mushroom, because the chef is pretty sure everyone loves mushrooms, right?

I think the idea at Option Ve is superb: health conscious and delicious food, ranging from modern to classic dishes, backed up with some straightforward comfort food. Because yes, whilst I usually over think everything and do want to get hand-picked responsibly sourced quinoa, my brother might just want a bacon butty, and there is no reason both of us shouldn’t be able to get that in the same place.

The restaurant marketplace has never been an easy way to make a living, but it is getting harder and harder, so restaurants need to appeal to as many people as possible. Option Ve does that in a fantastic and thoughtful way. There is a very wide range of not only vegetarian and vegan dishes, but a very good selection for people who eat meat.

The setting is great, and not only were they obliging with picky hipster me and my nononsense brother, they were fantastic with his youngest child who asked for a truly bizarre combination of cold sweetcorn and hot sausages, served with no fuss and a great attitude. At Option Ve it’s all about personal choice, and isn’t that what life is all about?

Dj Trev plays Saturday nights at The Foundry Project in Harrogate. His pub quiz is an acquired taste, with two coming up: 23rd July at Montey’s, and before then there is a Father’s Day Special at Blind Jack’s in Knaresborough, on Father’s Day. Well duh.

Time is Precious: James Wallman Time is precious. The author, trendforecaster, and speaker James Wallman has written a bestseller on how to spend it well. He heads to Berwins Salon North to explain how.

You’re sat on the sofa, again. Scrolling – through Netflix, Instagram, Twitter – wondering what digital worm hole you’ve lost your evening to.

James Wallman says it’s time for a re-think. By following the rules set out in his new book, Time and How to Spend It: The 7 Rules for Richer, Happier Days, he promises to make your life more successful.

Intrigued? The dynamic speaker who has presented a TED-Ex and spoken at Google HQ in California, is one of three expert speakers in this June’s Berwins Salon North, which explores the theme, The Power of the Mind.

Drawing on anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists, Wallman has sought out scientific research and presents key findings in an easy-touse toolkit to change your life.

He believes there’s a huge need for his book.

42

“We’ve become conscious focussing on materialistic consumerism hasn’t delivered happiness. There’s rising rates of depression and massive concern about anxiety,” he said.

“Happiness is something that is missing from lots of people’s lives because there’s all this pressure to perform and be busy. We have mobile phones that take away our happiness, and instead of turning them off and remembering life was okay without them, they’ve hooked us in.”

The science behind his book he believes will nudge people to change.

“We live in a time where there are so many wonderful things designed by clever people who really know how to hook us into habits that make them money but aren’t good for our well-being.

So what I’ve tried to do with the book is help people find it easy to choose better habits.”

Sitting on your bum scrolling through a phone won’t create extraordinary stories that you can tell others and yourself – stories that can feed into self-esteem and narrative psychology.

“The shape of the story we tell ourselves is really important for our own well-being – it’s also seeing

ourselves as the hero of our own story.”

Joining James is forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes. The TV and media expert and inspirational speaker provides an insight into some of the most extreme forms of human behaviour. Drawing on her case files from the frontline, her new book, The Dark Side of the Mind, explores what the treatment of those who act in disturbing ways says about us all.

Also, author David Robson shows you how to revolutionise your thinking and make wiser decisions. Presenting findings from his book, The Intelligence Trap, he offers an eye-opening examination of the stupid things smart people do.

Berwins Salon North is delivered by Harrogate International Festivals. The Salon was voted as number six in the ‘Top 100 Things to do in the World’ by GQ magazine.

Henshaws Bed Fest On Saturday 8 June Bed Fest will take place at Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre alongside the fabulous Great Knaresborough Bed Race. From its humble beginnings as a small community event Bed Fest has grown into a twelve hour fundraising feast of live music and entertainment.

The seventh annual festival will feature four different stages. The Main Stage features bands and DJs such as Harrogate favourites Hot Sauce and Rory Hoy. The Other Stage will be showcasing the talents of singer-songwriters.

The Homefire Stage will host bands at the noisier end of the musical spectrum. New to the festival this year is The Circus Room where DJs will provide a soundtrack to a number of circus and art activities.

Bed Fest hit the ground running in its first year for a number of reasons. The Henshaws Arts and Crafts centre makes a fantastic, familyfriendly, and self-contained space for an event.

It is a beautiful green space decorated by colourful art. The festival was founded as a fundraiser for Henshaws and this gives the day a really positive sense of purpose. The local music scene also allowed the festival to grow rapidly.

People are often surprised by the quality of music on show at Bed Fest and the artists on

show deserve a lot of credit for giving their time for free. The Harrogate scene rarely gets the credit it deserves and Bed Fest provides the perfect platform to show what it has to offer.

The festival keeps getting bigger and better and this year’s line-up is the best yet. Hell Fire Jack and The Superlatives also return to the main stage (where they both played back in 2013) having developed into respected touring bands recognised nationwide. Rory Hoy has become a fixture at the festival and always gets the whole crowd moving. The Chris Bramhall Experience are not to be missed, and Laura Kindelan is one to watch.

Beyond the entertainment Bed Fest is worth visiting just for the food and drink on offer! This year Major Tom’s will be running a bar and pizza shop, the people behind 10 Devonshire Place will be setting up a Gin Bar and Hog Roast, Roosters and Daleside will be available on tap, and the Henshaws team will be running a barbecue and prosecco bar.

Come rain or shine it really is a superb community event not to be missed. It is an opportunity to come together as a community, support an incredible local charity, and celebrate the musical talent Harrogate and Knaresborough has to offer.

Pride in Diversity This year Harrogate Theatre is working in partnership with Pride in Diversity Harrogate.

As part of this they’re bringing a festival of shows in June, all about owning our identity and celebrating our freedom to be true to ourselves.

The festival begins on Tuesday 11 June with Hayley and Me, a cabaret show taking a nostalgic look at the character Hayley Cropper from Corrie and her place in trans history. Expect a little audience interaction, a lot of Spice Girls and a very iconic anorak.

The performance will be followed by a film screening of MUM and a Q&A. How to be Amazingly Happy! on Weds 12 June asks ‘how do you find a new ‘once upon a time’ when the ‘happy ever after’ never turned up’? This big thinking show of storytelling and physical comedy follows Victoria’s mid-life search for joy, identity and belonging as she asks - is it possible to be happy without kids?

On Thursday 13 June Mark Farrelly presents Quentin Crisp - Naked Hope a solo show which debuted to rave reviews at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival. It immediately transferred to a run at the off-West End St. James Theatre, and has toured the UK ever since.

50

Naked Hope depicts the legendary Quentin Crisp at two distinct phases of his extraordinary life. Firstly in the late 1960s in his filthy Chelsea flat. Here Quentin surveys a lifetime of degradation and rejection.

Repeatedly beaten for being flamboyantly gay as early as the 1930s, but also ostracised simply for daring to live life on his own terms.

The second part of the play transitions the audience to New York in the 1990s. Here a much older Quentin, finally embraced by society, regales the audience with his sharplyobserved, hard-earned philosophy on how to have a lifestyle.

For Only An Hour (14 June) is a one man romp and jaunt through pop culture, queer art, childhood dreams and life changing surgery, danced to a hilarious medley of Angela Lansbury, Delia Smith and Bette Midler. This is a story told through dance, song, spoken word and extravagant performance art.

Finally, In the Bones (18 June) focuses on the story of a troubled young soldier who took his life following a return home from war. This is a moving tale with glimpses of the life he left behind; playful interactions with his sister, intimate moments with his partner, and coming out to his mother.

The Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival The Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival features the world’s most celebrated crime authors ‘in conversation, in action and in the bar’.

Now in its 17th year, the festival takes place at Agatha Christie’s old haunt, The Old Swan Hotel, in Harrogate from 18 to 21 July.

Special Guests are James Patterson, MC Beaton, Stuart MacBride, Jeffery Deaver, Belinda Bauer, Eva Dolan, Erin Kelly, Harlan Coben, Ian Rankin and Val McDermid, who will be in conversation with Scotland’s First Minister and bookworm, Nicola Sturgeon.

Jo Nesbo will also launch his much anticipated new Harry Hole thriller, Knife, at the festival. A special TV panel will feature Jed Mercurio, author of BBC smash-hit, The Bodyguard.

Serving up its usual helping of heated debate, panels will look at Irish fiction exploring borders and Brexit, a look at the rise of Antipodean Noir, the on-going controversy of the role of gratuitous violence, and how crime fiction can put the spotlight on the big social issues of the day.

Up to 90 authors from around the world will take part. The diverse rollcall includes Australian’s hottest author Jane Harper, Jackson Lamb creator Mick Herron, Scotland’s supernova Denise Mina, and Alex North, the pseudonym behind The

Whisper Man pitched as 2019’s biggest thriller.

The line-up includes Renee Knight, Stuart Neville, Stella Duffy, Brian McGilloway, Steve Cavanagh, Mark Billingham, Chris Brookmyre, AA Dhand, Joseph Knox, Robert Crais, Elly Griffiths, Sarah Hilary, Imran Mahmood, Martyn Waites and Jonathan Freedland aka Sam Bourne.

Val McDermid’s annual New Blood panel, one of the most anticipated events in publishing, features four hand-picked debuts from the Queen of Crime. 2019 picks are Gytha Lodge for She Lies in Wait, Holly Watt, with To the Lions, Chris Hammer’s Scrublands, and Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister the Serial Killer.

The opening night features the crime writing equivalent of The Oscars, with the 15th Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award.

Hosted by Mark Lawson, the Award is in association with sponsor T&R Theakston Ltd, retail partner WHSmith, and media partner, the Mail on Sunday. The ceremony will also honour a giant of the genre with the Outstanding Contribution to Crime Fiction Award - previous recipients include PD James, Ruth Rendell, Lee Child and John Grisham.

The 2019 Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival takes place at the Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate 18-21 July. Box office: 01423 562 303, harrogateinternationalfestivals.com.

William Powell Frith: The People’s Painter A major exhibition of the works of William Powell Frith (1819-1909), whose great panoramas of Victorian life made him the most popular painter of his time, will be mounted at Harrogate’s Mercer Art Gallery from June 15 to September 29.

Marking the bicentenary of Frith’s birth, this exhibition draws together over 70 paintings and prints from major national collections, including Tate Britain, the Royal Academy, HM The Queen, the V&A and the Mercer Art Gallery’s own collection.

There will also be many previously unseen works of art loaned from private collections and descendants of the artist. The Private View (at the Royal Academy) (1881) which was recently sold on the open market for the sum of £12M will also feature as part of the exhibition.

Moving to London in 1835 to become a student at the Royal Academy, Frith quickly became one of the great masters of the Victorian era, painting multi-layered panoramas that highlighted the social tensions and complexities of the times. Frith’s major paintings – Ramsgate Sands (1851-54), The Derby Day (1856-58), The Railway Station (1862) and The Private View (1881) – were so popular that the Royal Academy had to protect them from crowds with a rail on six occasions. These works toured the UK – including Frith’s home town of Harrogate – and overseas, drawing huge crowds who queued up and paid to see them. Frith also became one of the most commercially successful painters of the era, as the mass produced engravings of his masterpieces transported his art work to the parlours of the world and catapulted him to fame.

Expect visuals, a little audience interaction, a lot of Spice Girls and a very iconic anorak.

Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope 13 June, Harrogate Studio Theatre Openly gay as early as the 1930s, Quentin spent decades being beaten up on London’s streets for his refusal to be anything less than himself. His courage, and the powerful philosophy that evolved from those experiences, inspire to the present day.

Curtis Eller’s American Circus 11 June, Blues Bar, Harrogate

Curtis Eller is a banjo player, songwriter and rock & roll singer. A twenty-year show business veteran, Eller and his band The American Circus have developed a devoted international following based on dynamic, highly physical stage performances and a catalog of curious phonographic recordings. The iconoclastic musician has spent more than a decade relentlessly touring the club, theatre and festival stages of North America and Europe.

Eller is a gifted and prolific songwriter who’s banjo-driven songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. The American Circus is touring the UK in support of their latest and most ambitious album, “A Poison Melody” on which they have augmented their indelicate, rock & roll rhythms with a tempestuous cloud of horns and an graceless choir of backsliders in their quest to bring Eller’s historically evocative compositions to vivid, cinematic life.

Film Review with Henry Thompson

English-language Hollywood remakes of films don’t necessarily go very well, but they always reveal a lot about audience preferences – or at least their preferences as perceived

by Hollywood producers. George Sluzier’s celebrated horror The Vanishing (1988) was translated into a far less convincing US remake in 1993, directed again by Sluzier and starring Jeff Bridges. A new ‘happy ending’ had replaced the dark finish of the original. If the original film was a study in evil, the re-make was a study in filmmaking absurdity and the film did not prosper.

Michael Haneke did somewhat better at retaining the integrity of the original with his remake of the 1997 psychodrama Funny Games. Haneke directed the Hollywood remake in 2007. While the storyline remains essentially identical – a shot-for-shot copy- the pacing in the remake is noticeably quicker; an audience weened on action movies are, we might suppose, less interested in brooding build-ups.

Despite that adaptation, the English language remake did not find favour either with critics or audiences.

With The Vanishing and Funny Games as reference points it is interesting to see that Sebastián Lelio is now attempting the same trick with his new film Gloria Bell starring Julianne Moore as a fifty-something in search of fun, love, or possibly distraction. Lelio’s original film Gloria (2013) was set in his native Chile and Gloria would have been a teenager during the Pinochet dictatorship; something that inevitably sets a dark context for the film’s story. That context is absent in Gloria Bell’s Los Angeles 60

but the new film is still worth a look- and a comparison with the original which is available on dvd.

If you were not around when Neil Armstrong first stepped off the ladder in the Sea of Tranquillity on 20th July 1969, then the new documentary Apollo 11 is probably the best way to savour some of the breath-taking excitement felt around the world that summer.

President Nixon opined that the event should help everyone re-double efforts to achieve peace and tranquillity on Earth. (Two months earlier, Nixon had secretly authorised Operation Freedom Deal, the widespread carpet-bombing of Cambodia- but that’s another story!). Apollo 11 uses archive material throughout– there are no talking heads or voice-overs. Visually stunning, the film is arresting for at least two reasons. Firstly, it is striking what was achieved with the computing power then available.

Secondly, it is salutary to think how quickly the promise and hope that were captured in the moon landings dissipated. From Nixon’s foreign policy duplicity all the way down to Trump and Brexit, one somehow has the sense that the moon landings- despite their own political subtext of a space race with the USSR- were the high water mark for the inclusive world-view of the President who had set the space programme in motion – John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Henry Thompson is Research Fellow in film at the University of Manchester. His acclaimed book on Oliver Stone (co-authored with Ian Scott) was released in 2016. www.harrogatefilmsociety.co.uk
