Great Christmas Food & Drink Show - Bordeaux-Undiscovered


We are very excited at Bordeaux-Undiscovered to be involved in the Harrogate Great Christmas Show. Our wines will be making their first visit to Yorkshire and it will be great to meet some of our regular customers from the area.

Our stand number is E06 and we will be offering visitors to our stand the chance to enter a free draw to win a case of wine which  will deliver in time for Christmas!

Christmas is always a special time of year and we have some superb quality wines to show off at very keen prices. Everyone loves a bargain and our wines will be no exception. We have wines for every occasion, the majority of which will be under £10 a bottle.  What's more when you buy a case of 12 and we will deliver to your door for free and guarantee delivery for Christmas!

We have something for everyone from delicious Whites, fruity Rosés and smooth Clarets to unique Champagnes and Sparkling Wines!

Our forté is food and wine pairing so when you buy from us you can trust that the wines you choose will compliment whatever you will be preparing for your guests at Christmas and beyond. Come and have a chat with our friendly staff and experience the wonders of Bordeaux wine!

Victoria Hislop Comes to Harrogate

Victoria Hislop is most famous for her first two books The Island and The Return which have been translated into 30 different languages.

The Island is a romance and set against the background of a 20th Century Leper colony on Spinalonga off the North East coast of Crete and reached the no1 best seller list in the UK for 8 weeks with a series based on the book being shown in Greece with over 3/4 of the population there watching.

For her third novel she has returned to Greece for The Thread which is based in the city of Thessaloniki and covers the relationship of Dimitri and Katerina against the background of fire, population shift, earthquake, occupation and civil war.

Hislop prides herself in making history interesting and digestable, combining facts with a genunie and interesting narrative you learn without realising it.

Daisy Pulls it off!



Harrogate-based amateur dramatics group Woodlands, is putting on an ‘absolutely scrummy’ production of ‘Daisy Pulls It Off’ at The Harrogate Theatre Studio this June.


The comedy directed by Julie James and written by Denise Deegan, is a comic spoof of a bygone era of jolly hockey sticks, schoolgirl pranks and midnight feasts set in an elite 1920’s English girls school.  The play follows the adventures of super-achiever Daisy Meredith, the first ever elementary school pupil to win a scholarship at Grangewood Girls School.  But life does not run smoothly for Daisy as she fights to keep her place and her honour against the snobbish behaviour of school cronies Sybil Burlington and Monica Smithers.


he original production of ‘Daisy Pulls It Off’ was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber and enjoyed a long and successful West End run.  It also won an Olivier Award and The Drama Theatre Award for Best Comedy.


This production sees Woodlands celebrate its forty-third year since its beginnings in 1969 at Woodlands School in Harrogate and has grown today to over fifty members.  ‘Daisy Pulls It Off’ is the first of two plays the group will perform at The Harrogate Theatre Studio this year.  In previous years Woodlands has performed ‘Equus’, ‘Habeas Corpus’ and ‘Our Day Out.’  The Group also reached this years quarter-finals of the All England Theatre Festivals North Central region.


‘Daisy Pulls It Off’ is running from 20 to 23 June.  Tickets are available from Harrogate Theatre Box Office on 01423 502116 or online http://www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk/whatson.aspx
