"Unfortunately, our premises were the target of an arson attack, which temporarily forced us to close.
“CCTV footage shows a group of young individuals lighting fires near the building. Fortunately, the damage was limited.”
"We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Blue Watch from Harrogate and Knaresborough Fire Service.
“Their swift response prevented further destruction, and we cannot thank them enough for their bravery and professionalism."
