Harrogate social club scoops Club of the Year award

Tuesday, 5 August 2025 09:02

The Oatlands Club team with their CAMRA award.

The Oatlands Club in Harrogate has been named CAMRA Club of the Year for the third consecutive year.

The award, presented by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), recognises excellence in beer quality, community involvement and overall atmosphere.

The club on Coronation Grove, which was originally founded in 1899, has now won the award for Harrogate and Ripon in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Volunteers from the local CAMRA branch carry out assessments throughout the year, scoring clubs and pubs across the region.

And the Oatlands Club’s continued high standards have once again earned it the top spot.

A spokesperson for the pub said:

"We're so proud of this brilliant team. Congratulations on winning CAMRA club of the year.

“Thanks so much to the CAMRA team for coming down to present us with our new certificate!"

The CAMRA Club of the Year award is part of a wider series of accolades designed to promote real ale and traditional pub culture.

The Oatlands Club will now go forward for consideration in the national stage of the competition, with a presentation event planned at the venue later this month.
