Hidden away in the heart of Harrogate, an old theatre has found new life not just as a restaurant, but an events venue like no other.
Hosting events for the likes of local hero Gareth Southgate, Danny Mills, and Heston Blumenthal, Cardamom Black are more than just a resturant.
The building, which has been a part of Harrogate's history since 1872, has been made over as a stunning events venue. It's high ceilings and staging make it so versatile, it's seen indoor fireworks, stilt walkers and fire breathers!
Nick Rahmen, the managing director, has no fear of large events. At one recent party, 700 deserts were laid on for partygoers to enjoy. In the almost 8 years Cardamom Black has been in Harrogate, he's held weddings, birthday parties, coroporate events, tribute nights and more.
There's also an extensive cocktail menu, and with some of the best vegan dining in Harrogate it's easy to ensure all guests are well fed.
Beth Parsons from Stray FM's lunchtime show went to speak to Nick about the events and famous faces Cardamom Black has seen:
