AONB Events
|
Each year the Nidderdale AONB team, with the support of
local experts, organise a programme of events focusing on the
special qualities of the area.
This year we have a wide range of events running from
April to October and details of these can be found on the following
pages:
Not all events require pre booking but there are a few events
where places are limited and must be booked beforehand to guarantee
your place. Where this is the case it has been stated
alongside the event details.
In the case of all events, by booking your place in
advance you help us to organise the event more efficiently.
Pre booking could also save you money as some events are
cheaper if pre booked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost? The cost of each event
is stated in the description. Although most events don't have
to be pre booked, some events are cheaper for people who book
places before the event. Public transport users are also free
on production of a valid ticket. Please be aware that some events
may incur additional charges such as show entry charges or car
parking charges.
How do I book a place? Bookings can be
made by downloading the relevant booking form from alongside the
event details and then sending it into the AONB office with
payment.
Payment can be made by:
- Cash (in person at the AONB office - please do not send cash
through the post)
- Cheque (made payable to 'Harrogate Borough Council')
- Credit/Debit card (please note that there is a 1.2%
surcharge for using a credit card)
Where do we meet? The meeting point is
usually stated in the event description, however if the event
requires prior booking the meeting point will be given at the time
of booking.
What do I need to bring? Please come
dressed/equipped accordingly for the event you are attending and
the weather conditions. Stout footwear and waterproof clothing are
recommended, as is sun cream in warmer weather. You may wish to
bring a snack and a drink but if a packed lunch is required this
will be stated in the description.
Are dogs allowed? Dogs are not permitted unless
stated otherwise. Where dogs are permitted they must be kept on a
short lead at all times. Please note that some of the walk routes
will encounter stiles and it is your responsibility to ensure your
dog can get over these.
How do I get there? The AONB supports sustainable
modes of transport and a number of our events are accessible by
public transport. Timetables and further information on public
transport can be found at www.traveline.org.uk or by ringing 0871
200 22 33.
What happens if the event is cancelled? Whilst
care has been taken to organise these events there are sometimes
circumstances beyond our control that will lead to the cancellation
of an event. If this is the case we will make every effort to
contact you with as much notice as possible. Those attending should
be aware that bad weather might cause events to be cancelled or
postponed. If in doubt we recommend that you contact the AONB
office prior to the event to check it is still going ahead. We
reserve the right to postpone or cancel any events.
Please note that bookings are non refundable
unless the event is cancelled by the AONB.
