Indulgent shopping trips are quintessentially Harrogate. Whether you are shopping for Christmas, a special occasion or just a treat with friends, a trip to the shops in Harrogate, interspersed with a cosmopolitan style lunch and relaxing afternoon tea, is a bucket list experience.

When you really need to spoil yourself and spend the day browsing for that special outfit you will never see on anyone else the independent shopping streets in and around Harrogate town are an unmissable destination.

From well-known High Street names to local independents the choice of footwear and fashion shopping will turn your head. Strike out and visit the independent meccas of Commercial Street and Kings Road, but a visit to Harrogate’s own “Notting Hill” Cold Bath Road is not to be missed. For the fashion conscious, the choice is similarly spelling binding. For a truly one off item, try one of several vintage clothing shops.
