The Knox is a converted 300-year-old former farmhouse and farm buildings in Bilton, a quiet suburb on the fringe of Harrogate, North Yorkshire (HG1). A community pub well known for its home-cooked food, it has a bar, beer garden and is family- and dog-friendly with disabled access. Live music runs in the main bar through the year, with monthly live-music nights that bring a great vibe, plus other entertainment. With a medium standing capacity of around 150, it welcomes both original artists and covers; the record lists no permanent in-house PA, so visiting acts should confirm whether they need to bring their own rig. A friendly grassroots stage on the edge of Harrogate.
