We’ve moved further into the garden centre! 🐠🌿

If you’ve visited us recently, you might have noticed a few changes underway. Harrogate Aquatics has shifted a little further into Knaresborough Garden Centre!

We’re most of the way there now—tanks are running, livestock is settling into the new layout, and the space is really starting to take shape. We still have a few boxes to unpack and loose ends to tidy up over the next few days, so please bear with us while we put the final polish on everything.

We’re fully open for business as usual, so come on down, follow the signs, and check out the new setup. We’d love to know what you think! 🐟✨

📍 Find us just beyond the greenhouse

👉 Pop in for all your pond, tropical, and coldwater essentials!
