Campaign for Real Ale

Harrogate Social by Train

Saturday 12 November 2022

The plan is to catch the 10:11 train from Rochdale, arriving at Harrogate at 12:03 Return tickets for those without a rail card should be £20.50, although if you 'split-ticket' via Hebden Bridge, the cost reduces to £18.40 (Two separate tickets - Rochdale to Hebden Bridge Return and Hebden Bridge to Harrogate Return), which can be done without the need to change train at Hebden Bridge. Once arrived in Harrogate, the plan is to visit up to 9 of Harrogates 11 GBG pubs, which can be achieved within approximately a 1.3 mile circuit of Harrogate Train Station, so not too far to walk. The proposed and most efficient running order is; Blues Cafe Bar, HG1 2TJ (0.3 miles from train station).

Old Bell, HG1 2SZ.

Major Toms Social, HG1 2RB.

Winter Gardens, HG1 2WH.

Starling Independant Cafe Bar Kitchen, HG1 1PW.

Little Ale House, HG1 1DH.

Inn at Cheltenham Parade, HG1 1DB.

Disappearing Chin, HG1 1QH and finally

Harrogate Tap, HG1 1TE, which is adjacent to the train station

Return trains later in the afternoon/early evening run approximately every 30 minutes, with the last train being at 20:46. Please note, all of the return trains will involve a change of train at Leeds.
