Your Harrogate

Nick Hancock welcomes Kevin and Mark from SignHub in Harrogate to our Your Harrogate Podcast.

The guys reveal all about their unique business, which has been rebranded from the well-known 'Signarama'.

Kevin and Mark reveal a few local signs that you didn't know they produced, how they translate ideas into a creation, what 'signage solutions' they produce and the ideas for branded cars.

We also get their unbiased professional opinion on who 'does it well' when it comes to signage... 

Nick Hancock is joined by two special guests from Harrogate Ladies College (HLC) for another Your Harrogate Podcast.

Sporting history-maker and former pupil Henrietta Butler and HLC Principal Sylvia Brett join Nick to talk about Henrietta's history at the school, how it helped shape the athlete she became and her fantastic sporting achievements.

Sylvia is also on hand to discuss the unique connection that former pupils have with the school, HLC's focus on sport and the pride she has for the current students who have shown pragmatism in such difficult times.

Nick Hancock is joined by Sue for a very special Your Harrogate Podcast.

Sue shares her story as a foster carer in North Yorkshire and the struggles of being a foster parent during lockdown.

We find out all about Sue's background and gain a fascinating insight into the life of a foster carer. She tells us about the challenges of Christmas, what new traditions she is trying to create with her foster children and what advice she would give to someone who is considering becoming a foster parent.

Nick Hancock and Sharon Canavar are back to dish some more Harrogate goss - but this time with a festive spin (it's nearly Christmas after all!)

We're talking the Christmas Fayre, the 'huts' (or chalets?), getting hammered on mulled wine, helter-skelter drama, Tinder and Christmas parties...

We're back with Episode 2 of 'Overheard in Harrogate' where no rumour or piece of gossip is off limits - the only rule is it needs to have been heard in Harrogate!

We've launched a brand new series of podcasts - and they're a perfect listen for fans of local Harrogate goss!

Titled 'Overheard in Harrogate', each podcast will see Nick Hancock joined by Sharon Canavar from Harrogate International Festivals to talk Harrogate gossip and with one rule only - it must've been overheard in Harrogate!

Whether it was at Asda on Bower Road, in Betty's or in the sauna at Nuffield gym, Nick and Sharon will be sharing some of the hilarious things they've heard in Harrogate.

Submit your own goss that you've overheard in Harrogate (anonymously of course!) by emailing [email protected]!

Nick Hancock is joined by Vicky Eustace from 'Back in the Spotlight' - an exciting event to be held at Harrogate Ladies College and put on by Harrogate St Andrews Players! The amateur group will be putting on an evening of song and dance straight from some of the best West End musicals. Vicky talks about what people can expect from the 'musical theatre extravaganza' and talks about their long wait to get performing again - as well as the difficulties of rehearsing over Zoom and socially distanced in a car park!

Nick Hancock welcomes some very special guests from Grewelthorpe CE Primary School to talk about everything and anything around climate change!

10-year-old school councillors Elijah and Saskia tell us all about what carbon footprints are and how we can reduce them, plus we talk about the upcoming 'Walk to School Day' and what the pair would say to MPs about climate change given the chance...

Nick Hancock is joined by Anna and Georgie, the best friends and mums behind Tigerfifty7 in Harrogate! The pair own the shop on Cold Bath Road and have designed a colourful range of t-shirts to support Harrogate-based mental health charity Wellspring Therapy and Training.

We talk all about the ‘HGKids’ idea, where it came from, why the duo wanted to support this charity and how they’ve already raised more than £300 for the Starbeck counselling and training centre!

Do you want to get more involved with Harrogate Theatre? Nick Hancock is joined by someone who can help you do just that! We’re chatting to Deborah Larwood, Chair of Harrogate Theatre, to tell us all about their hunt for ‘trustees’ to join the Theatre’s board.

Deborah tells us what sort of person they’re looking for, why it’s so important to get local people involved with the theatre and what sort of things their trustees will be able to do.
