Is this the most Christmassy pub in Yorkshire?
The Coach and Horses in Harrogate is receiving the ultimate Christmas makeover, renaming itself The Sleigh and Reindeers for the festive season.
Marking the official start of the Christmas season in Harrogate, this festive landmark on West Park will be transformed from the 12th of November.
The pub’s familiar appearance will be swapped out for twinkling lights, a new seasonal menu, and their show-stopping Christmas decorations will make a much-anticipated return.
Having captured the attention of media outlets across Yorkshire and beyond, the Sleigh and Reindeers has become something of a tradition in recent years, drawing crowds for the big reveal.
A special Coach and Horses Christmas menu will also be unveiled on the day. It’ll showcase festive classics like twice-baked Wensleydale soufflé with red wine poached pear, butter and sage roasted turkey and a Black Forest cake.
This year promises to be bigger and brighter than ever, promising a warm welcome for all who stop by for pints of festive ales and warming mugs of mulled wine.
The fun really doesn’t stop with the decorations. December will be packed with festive-themed events from weekly quiz nights, musical bingo and live acts. The proceeds of some of these events will go to the local charity, Martin House.
Save the date for the start of Christmas in Harrogate – Wednesday, the 12th of November. Book a table here to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the first taste of Christmas in Harrogate.
