50 new jobs to be created as The Potting Shed comes to Harrogate in £1.1m development

The Potting Shed Bar & Gardens has announced plans to invest £1.1m to launch a brand new venue in Harrogate.

The town’s old Rift & Co. site will be transformed into the new venue, with concept bar specialist Ormsborough Ltd delivering its interior design.

Featuring a row of trademark brightly-coloured wooden sheds with private bench seating, there will also be an indoor lawn and a number of hanging baskets displayed around the venue.

The venue will also feature a menu of bespoke cocktails, premium craft beers, artisan spirits and a wide range of food options. With a garden theme running throughout, the space is both dog and family friendly.

The Potting Shed will officially open at midday on Friday 25th May, creating 50 new jobs.

This marks the brand’s fifth venue, having already launched sites in Guiseley, Northallerton, Bingley and Beverley.

Plans are also underway to launch the sixth venue, which will hit Trinity in Leeds in time for summer.

Jade Renner, director of The Potting Shed Bar & Gardens, commented: “We take a lot of care in finding all of our sites and this landmark building fits perfectly with our brand and gives us a great opportunity.

“Our bars are different, they’re fun, they welcome families and are even dog friendly! So we are confident everyone will come and experience that for themselves once we open our doors.”
