Sneak peek: Fodder gives update on refurbishment

Tuesday, 4 March 2025 06:30

Fodder has given a sneak peek inside its new shop and cafe.

Fodder has given a sneak preview of its new shop and café refurbishment two weeks ahead of its reopening.

The popular venue near Harrogate's Great Yorkshire Showground is set to fully reopen on Monday 17th March.

It's been closed since 10th January for a refurbishment, although its airstream ‘Fodder on the Hoof’ has remained open throughout.

The new-look Fodder will feature more Yorkshire suppliers than ever before, tasting tables and "a more contemporary feel."

And two weeks before it plans to reopen, Fodder has teased its social media followers with a look inside the venue during its refit:

Fodder Manager Vanessa Pitt said:

“The new refit will allow us to create a space that really puts our farmers and producers front and centre.

“We will stock more Yorkshire suppliers than ever before, offer tasting tables to allow customers to try before they buy and create a more contemporary feel around the shop and café.”

Allister Nixon, Chief Executive of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society which owns Fodder, added:

“Fodder is special and unique in that all of its profits go back to charity, enabling us to further support farmers through education, grants, support groups and health checks.

"We really appreciate our customers’ loyalty and support through the refurbishment period.”
