Holiday Overview
Situated in the heart of the Victorian spa town of Harrogate, the Crowne Plaza is the perfect location for our 4-night stay. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Harrogate town centre and 10 minutes from the train station, situated next to Harrogate Convention Centre. There is much to explore in Harrogate, from the delightful cobbled Montpellier Quarter, which houses art galleries and antique and vintage shops, to the English Heritage Grade II-listed Valley Gardens. We include a walking tour of Harrogate with local Blue Badge guides to help you familiarise you with this wonderful spa town, along with an included visit to Newby Hall & Gardens and a guided house tour!

Your Bridge Programme
Your duplicate bridge will be available every evening between 7:30pm and 10:30pm. We endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs and featuring at least one Swiss event during a two-week break.
Bridge will also be offered some mornings or afternoons. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams.
Masterpoints are awarded on evening bridge sessions, and on day sessions with over 5 tables.
We also try to include interesting bridge seminars as part of your programme, hosted by your EBU-qualified director.
During your holiday, nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many or as few bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our bridge programme also allows time to relax, giving you the opportunity to explore the surrounding area.
Make your own way to Crowne Plaza in Harrogate.
Enjoy a welcome drink and dinner followed by evening bridge.

Today, we head by coach to Newby Hall, the family home of Mr & Mrs Richard Compton. Built in the 1690’s by Sir Christopher Wren, the house was later adapted by John Carr and subsequently Robert Adam. Newby Hall is one of Britain's finest Adam Houses along with its award-winning gardens.
We include a guided tour of the house before enjoying time at leisure to explore the 25-acre gardens, the Sculpture Park and Dollshouse exhibition. The Garden Restaurant serves refreshments daily and the shop at Newby Hall is worth a browse!
After our visit, the coach returns us back to the hotel for some free time before dinner and evening bridge.
