It's the perfect activity for a sunny day, allowing you to explore this beautiful Yorkshire spa town at your own pace while discovering some of the most passionate, independent food and drink spots it has to offer.

Why Harrogate is a foodie spot!?

Harrogate is famous for its elegant Victorian architecture, stunning gardens, and historic tearooms. But tucked away between the grand buildings and boutique shops is a thriving scene of independent cafes, bars and restaurants. From cosy cafes and artisan bakeries to unique delis and craft breweries, the town is a haven of small businesses run by people who genuinely love what they do. A self-guided Harrogate food tour gives you a chance to support these local businesses and taste the passion in every bite.

Go solo or do it with friends, it's totally up to you!

A self-guided food tour is all about flexibility. You set the schedule, don't want to do it all on one day? That's fine! Your ticket allows you to return at a time that suits you*. Want to spend an hour over a leisurely brunch? Go for it.

Feel like grabbing a coffee, or even a drink before heading to your next stop? You can do that too. You can absolutely make the tour work to suit you, making it one of the best things to do in Harrogate in summer.
