Brodie's Yorkshire Guide: Celebrating Yorkshire Day

Celebrating family, community, and everything we love about our home county.

At Brodie Cashmere, we’re proud to call Yorkshire our home. Founded in 2010 by mother-daughter duo Anne-Marie and Jes, our brand was born from a shared love of quality, family, and timeless style all rooted in the rugged beauty and honest charm of Yorkshire life.

From windswept moorlands to seaside towns, Yorkshire is a place full of warmth, character, and community spirit. So in celebration of all things Yorkshire, Anne-Marie and Jes are sharing their perfect day out across the county including favourite places to eat, stay, and explore.

Start with Coffee & Brunch at Weetons

Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Start your day at Weetons, a local gem in the heart of Harrogate. Overlooking the beautiful Stray, Weetons is a café, deli, and food hall rolled into one, perfect for a relaxed Yorkshire brunch. We love their locally sourced dishes and strong coffee, best enjoyed from a sunny seat by the window.

Morning Wander: RHS Harlow Carr

Crag Lane, Harrogate
After brunch, take a stroll through the breathtaking gardens at RHS Harlow Carr. From colourful seasonal blooms to peaceful woodland walks, this Harrogate treasure is perfect for a mindful wander and a great way to work up an appetite for the next stop.

Afternoon Tea at Bettys

Harrogate town centre or inside RHS Harlow Carr
A Yorkshire visit isn’t complete without afternoon tea at Bettys. Whether you choose the original tearoom in Harrogate town or the charming outpost at Harlow Carr, expect silver teapots, clotted cream scones, and that timeless Yorkshire hospitality.

Golden Hour G&T at Three’s A Crowd

West Park, Harrogate
As the sun dips, there’s nowhere better than Three’s A Crowd, a modern gastro pub overlooking Harrogate’s iconic Stray. Sip on a Yorkshire gin and tonic outside in the sunshine and toast to the slower pace of Yorkshire life.

Best Day Out with Kids: Fountains Abbey & Picnic

Near Ripon, North Yorkshire
Jes’s favourite family day out? Fountains Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and surrounded by nature. Pack a picnic and let the kids run free across acres of open green space, riverside walks, and adventure trails.

Stay the Night at Yurtshire

Ripon / Nidderdale AONB
After a full day of fresh air and family fun, unwind under the stars at Yurtshire, where luxury glamping meets off-grid peace and quiet. Think cosy fires, hot tubs, and rustic charm the perfect end to your Yorkshire escape.

Don’t Miss: The Great Yorkshire Show

Held annually in Harrogate each July
Hands down, the Great Yorkshire Show is the best day out of the year and one we look forward to every summer. It’s a true celebration of community, countryside, and culture, bringing together farming, food, fashion, and fun for all ages. It perfectly captures everything we love about life in Yorkshire.

Why We Love Yorkshire

Yorkshire isn’t just where we live and work, it’s part of who we are. We love its down-to-earth people and strong community feel.

Whether you’re sipping tea at Bettys or walking the dog across the moors, there’s a rhythm to life here that we wouldn’t change for the world.
