Lifestyle: The Great Yorkshire Show with Hobbs London



A couple of weeks ago, I received an exciting email from luxury clothing brand, Hobbs, asking if I would like to join them along at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate. Living in the North, the GYS is something I've always been aware of, but never managed to attend, so of course I rather eagerly accepted.

Harrogate is a beautifully quaint British town, and the perfect location for a Hobbs store. The day began with a browse of their new collections, a selection of delicious pastries to tuck into, and of course, in true quintessentially British style - lots of tea! Although Hobbs wasn't a brand I previously knew a great deal on, from a good look through the store, it's definitely one I'm going to be visiting more often. Since my visit, I've managed to build up quite the shopping list - can we talk these shoes please? Need.


After filling up on treats, we headed over to the show. With the sun blaring, we wandered round the grounds, admiring the animals, stores and music. How cool are these guys? 

Our first main stop was the fashion show. Trends from influential brands such as Barbour, Max Mara and Hobbs made their way down the catwalk, as well as highlighting work from talented upcoming designers. The dance moves courtesy of each model were also pretty darn groovy, too. Next, we paid a visit to the Rabbit show. As you can imagine, this was a room filled with serious cuteness, floppy ears, and fluff. I genuinely wasn't aware there were so many different breeds of rabbits!


Following a quick whizz around the ferris wheel, we'd worked up an appetite, so off we went on a hunt for some grub. Clearly we were relishing in the whole typically British experience, as we headed towards the Women's Institute tent for sandwiches and more tea. It was then that the rain began to cover the grounds, and rather conveniently, just as we'd planned to hit the road back home.

I had a really brilliant day and it was lovely to meet fellow bloggers Sam, Rachel, and Joanna. (Go check out their awesome blogs and channels!). A huge, huge thanks to Hobbs for inviting me along!

Did you manage to attend the Great Yorkshire Show?
