It’s only a few weeks ago since Harrogate played host to the world’s biggest annual sporting event with ‘the Grand Départ’ of the 2014 Tour de France. Yorkshire’s roads were alive with the sights and sounds of this most spectacular event! Over 2 million spectators turned out across moorland, streets, villages and cities to bare witness to all it had to offer!

Not quite as many visited the latest Home and Gift Fair this month also hosted in Harrogate but for those who did, they too, were in for a treat!

For those who didn’t here are 5 of the best exhibits:
