A hidden space for gathering, celebrating, and sharing stories
Kota (pronounced Koh-tah) is inspired by a traditional Finnish shelter where people gather around a fire. Kota is rooted in Nordic heritage and shaped by Yorkshire character. Tucked within the gardens of Cedar Court Harrogate, and overlooking the Stray, it offers a setting that feels both relaxed and quietly distinctive. Kota brings together Nordic spirit with Yorkshire hospitality.
This summer, Kota comes to life with a brand-new events series, think Tapas Nights, Bottomless Brunch, and Kota Social evenings with Pizza & Prosecco and Mediterranean Mezze, all set alongside live acoustic music. Kota is designed for moments that feel personal, welcoming, and worth remembering. A hidden gem, waiting to be discovered.
