APPLICATION FORM - RUDDING PARK 'DOES' DRAGONS' DEN

New for 2024, we are giving local independent businesses the opportunity to pitch products to key decision makers in our business with a view to them being selected as part of our VIP gifting range.

Our team of ‘friendly’ Dragons are looking for a selection of high-quality Yorkshire products with a link to travel, lifestyle, food and drink, design or well-being. They must also align with sustainability and/or giving back to the community. The initiative also supports our Giving Back initiative; as our Dragons will each have a pot of Rudding Park monetary vouchers ready to ‘invest’ in charities nominated by candidates who particularly impress.

Pitching Date and Location
Pitching will take place on Tuesday 23 January at Rudding Park in Harrogate.

Pitching Process
Those pitching will have three minutes to introduce themselves and showcase the product/s. The Dragons will then ask a number of questions. You can expect to be in the 'Den' for up to 15 minutes.

Filming
We will be filming in the Den to support marketing of the initiative and help to showcase the products.

Decision-making
The Dragons will consider all pitches and may follow up with any further questions after the pitch date. All those invited will receive notification as to whether we would like to include their product within four weeks.

How to Apply
Tell us about you and your product/s using the form below. All applications will be reviewed and an email invitation will be sent to successful applicants by Tuesday 16 January detailing a specific pitch time.
