Ake & Humphris Opens New Wine Bar in Harrogate Town Centre

Harrogate town centre has welcomed a stylish new independent venue with the opening of Ake & Humphris on Oxford Street.

The permanent wine bar and shop officially opened on Thursday, 5 February, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Fiona Movley MBE, alongside Deputy Mayor Jenny Travena.

Located in the former Shuropody unit, the Oxford Street site becomes the business’s third location, joining its established premises on Leeds Road in Harrogate and in Collingham.

The launch event attracted local business and community figures, with Champagne and canapés provided by Nomad Catering. Guests included Tom Gordon and Martin Mann, Chief Executive of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce.

Designed by Mark Hinchcliffe, the interior has been described as “Oscar Wilde’s secret wine library”, featuring repurposed 1920s wardrobes, a bespoke chandelier made from antique copper wine funnels, and a traditional library ladder reaching shelves of premium wines and whiskies.

Paul Auty of Ake & Humphris said the move reflects a long-held ambition to be part of the town centre, adding independent businesses are the soul of the high street. Our focus has always been on people first and sharing wine knowledge simply.”

The Oxford Street wine bar and shop is now open seven days a week, from 11am to 10pm, with Tuesday opening hours from 4pm.
