New Nordic-Inspired Venue Kota Opens in Harrogate with Summer Events Programme

A brand-new Nordic-inspired events venue has opened in Harrogate, offering a unique destination for food, drink and entertainment this summer.

Nestled within the hotel’s landscaped gardens overlooking the Stray, Kota combines Scandinavian design influences with warm Yorkshire hospitality, creating an inviting setting for everything from private celebrations and corporate events to casual social gatherings.

Pronounced ‘Koh-tah’, the new venue has been designed as a welcoming retreat where guests can enjoy great food, live music and memorable experiences in a relaxed outdoor setting.
