Are you a fellow North Easterner CL? I'm in Bishop Auckland, County Durham.

It looks a great fair, they've sent me that several times through the year.
Big prices too! There's a country living one in Glasgow about the same time....one day I'll do it 
Have you been to it Scott?
Could we persuade you to go snooping shopping for us?

Not that far from me - might go if I'm not busy and it's not too expensive 

Not sure I could afford Harrogate prices C ! Think a stall selling good quality soaps would go really well, but I'm sure there will be many such stalls there. Good to get even a small share of the Harrogate spending potential.
There's a lovely fair at Newby Hall from time to time, where I first got my idea to do cosmetics.

Still has it's fair share of wealthy dowagers - although I was told today that Betty's scones are not what they were.

To far for me & a bit pricey.
