🍸 Partner spotlight: Over & Above Harrogate 🍸

Tonight, some of our Harrogate Bee Social ladies are heading to **Over & Above** for pre-dinner cocktails before our fully booked Dinner Club at Tap and Tuk Tuk.

Although dinner itself is fully booked, anyone who fancies joining us beforehand for a cocktail, or two! would be very welcome.

Over & Above is one of our member benefit partners and a beautiful local cocktail bar in Harrogate, tucked away behind a bookcase on Cheltenham Crescent. It is known for quality, theatre and genuine hospitality, and has been recognised as one of the UK’s Top 50 Cocktail Bars.

We love being able to introduce our members to brilliant local businesses like this, places that make Harrogate feel special.

Harrogate Bee Social members can access their member benefits through their Member Pass on the app or website.

Not a member yet? You can join us here and enjoy this benefit, along with lots more local offers, events and community perks:

If you’d like to join us for cocktails tonight, pop your name below so we can let them know how many to expect. 💛

🎲 YOU ASKED… SO WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN!

After such a brilliant Games Night on The Stray this month and after hearing from quite a few ladies who had serious FOMO afterwards, we’ve decided one summer evening simply wasn’t enough. 😂

So Games on The Stray is coming back in September!

This was originally going to be our Traitors Games Night, but don’t worry, you won’t miss out on that either, we’re moving The Traitors to October instead. 👀

September will be another relaxed evening of:

🎲 Garden games
🏆 Friendly competition
🤣 Guaranteed laughter
🥪 Picnic bits
🥂 A drink if you fancy
🐝 And plenty of lovely company

No expensive night out required. Grab a blanket or chair, pack something easy to eat, bring your favourite drink and come and spend the evening having a ridiculous amount of fun on The Stray.

Last time, ladies were messaging afterwards saying they hadn’t laughed so much in ages, so if you missed it, this is your second chance!

Come by yourself, come with someone you’ve met through the Hive, or just turn up ready to join in. We’ll sort the rest.

📚 Harrogate Bee Social Book Club

Another fantastic evening of conversation as we discussed The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.

The book sparked some really thoughtful discussion around betrayal, grief, guilt, relationships across different generations and backgrounds, and the idea of the written word as a legacy.

Our final score? 3.75 out of 5 stars. ⭐

Book Club is one of those events where you can come along on your own, meet new people and enjoy an evening of relaxed conversation. You don't need to be a huge reader or a literary expert, just bring your thoughts and an open mind.

Next reads:
📖 September – The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden
📖 October – Itch! by Gemma Amor
📖 November – Historical Fiction

We're now looking for November suggestions: female author, under 400 pages. We'd love to hear your recommendations.

🧠🍻 ONE WEEK TO GO UNTIL QUIZ NIGHT IS BACK!

We missed our July Quiz Night because a little thing called the World Cup got in the way… and can you believe that was less than a month ago? It already feels like forever! 😂

But next week we are BACK at Lily Pad and ready to give the brain cells a workout.

If your idea of a good night out involves:

🧠 a bit of friendly competition
🤣 plenty of laughs
🍷 a drink or two
🐝 meeting some new people
🙋‍♀️ shouting out an answer you’re absolutely certain is right… only to discover it definitely isn’t

…then this one is for you.

And please don’t worry if you don’t have a team. You do not need to arrive with four quiz masterminds in tow! Come along by yourself and we’ll welcome you, make the introductions and get you settled into a team.

You don’t need to be brilliant at quizzes either. There is almost always that glorious moment when the most random piece of useless knowledge you’ve carried around for 20 years suddenly becomes VERY important. 😂

📅 Wednesday 19 August
🕖 7pm
📍Lily Pad

We’ve missed this one. Who’s ready to bring Quiz Night back with a bang? 🐝🧠

Get yourself booked on — one week to go!

🌿 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY - A BIG SUMMER WELLBEING WALK

This Sunday we’re heading out for one of our longer summer walks, a beautiful Harewood circular, with plenty of time to walk, chat, stop for a picnic and enjoy being outdoors together.

We’ll meet at Muddy Boots Café in Harewood Residential Village, which gives everyone the chance to grab a quick coffee or use the facilities before we set off.

And if you don’t drive, this one is still very doable, the 36 bus from Harrogate Bus Station stops outside The Harewood Arms, just a few minutes’ walk from our meeting point.

🌿 What to bring:
Comfortable, suitable footwear
Layers for the weather
Plenty to drink
Snacks or a packed lunch for our halfway picnic

The route is still considered a fairly gentle walk, but it is longer than some of our usual walks and includes woodland, gravel, grass and some uneven ground, so it may not be suitable for anyone with significant mobility difficulties.

🐾 Dogs are welcome too, but as we’ll be walking through a wildlife estate, they need to be calm, well behaved and kept on a lead throughout.

The current forecast is looking promising, with warm temperatures and a mixture of cloud and sunshine, perfect walking weather if it stays that way!

And when we finish? There’s a farm shop on the route, Muddy Boots Café back at the start, or perhaps even a well-earned drink at The Harewood Arms. We’ll see what everyone fancies. 💛

📅 Sunday 16 August
🕥 10.30am
📍 Muddy Boots Café, Harewood Residential Village

A little fresh air, a picnic and good company, a rather lovely way to spend a Sunday. 🐝🌿

📚 Todays' question: can a book change the way you look at someone you’ve never even met?

Our Book Club is back this evening, and this month we’re talking about The Correspondent.

One of the best things about Book Club is that the conversation rarely stays neatly on the pages. A character, a decision or a single line can take us off in completely different directions and that’s usually where the best discussions happen.

Loved it? Hated it? Still deciding? Come and tell us.

And if you haven’t quite finished it… we promise there will be no test at the door. 😉 You certainly don’t need to be a serious reader or a Book Club regular to join us.

When did you last put something in the diary simply because YOU wanted to do it? 💛

Not because the family needed you there.

Not because it was work.

Not because it was an appointment, an errand or something else that needed sorting.

Just because it sounded fun.

I think so many of us get very good at making sure everyone and everything else is taken care of. And somehow, the things we'd quite like to do get pushed to “when I've got time.”

Except... when do we ever magically get more time? 😂

Sometimes we have to make it.

An evening out. A walk. Trying something completely new. Dinner with lovely people. A couple of hours where nobody needs anything from you.

It isn't selfish.

It's your life too.

So here's your little Monday reminder: put something in the diary that's just for you. 💛🐝

What are you doing for YOU this week?

☕️ Monday morning question… how was your weekend?

Did you get out and about? Try somewhere new? And did any of our members manage to make use of one of their Bee Social member benefits while they were out? 🐝💛

One of the things we really wanted our Member Benefits to do was introduce you to some brilliant local businesses as well as give you a little something extra for being part of Bee Social.

So today we thought we’d shine a spotlight on one of our newer partners, Otto Cafe

If you haven’t discovered Otto yet, it’s Harrogate’s 100% gluten-free café bar, right in the centre of town on Oxford Street. Their entire menu is gluten-free, with breakfasts, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, cakes, scones and plenty more to tempt you.

For anyone who is coeliac or gluten intolerant, finding somewhere where the whole menu has been created around gluten-free dining is pretty special, but you certainly don’t need to eat gluten-free to go and enjoy it!

And, of course, Harrogate Bee Social members have their own Otto member offer. If you haven’t used it yet, have a look at your Member Pass and perhaps add Otto to your next coffee or lunch plans.

Our benefits are there to be used, ladies! Whether it saves you a little on coffee, lunch, shopping, wellbeing or something else you were going to enjoy anyway, make the most of them. 💛

And if you’re not a member yet, the events might be what first brings you to Bee Social, but the growing collection of local benefits is a rather lovely extra once you’re here.

Who has tried Otto already and what should the rest of us order? 👇
