Harrogate Floral Summer of Celebration
This summer, we at Harrogate BID want to bring communities and the town centre together along with solidarity and creativity, to celebrate the town and the return of Yorkshire in Bloom after two turbulent years of restrictions. We want to support businesses by celebrating Harrogate for what it is truly renowned for – its floral heritage.
Harrogate BID will work with local partners and businesses to be part of the ‘Harrogate Floral Summer of Celebration’, to create a trail of unique floral stories in the town centre, including a Victorian Bath, a Teacup and a Giant Garden Gnome. Visitors will be able to complete the trail whilst taking in Harrogate’s opulent history and also have the opportunity to hear from influential figures from the gardening world across four weeks in the Summer.
The event will be aimed at locals and visitors and will support rediscovering the town, support local businesses and encouraging footfall. This event will be the first of its kind and will focus on the collaboration of the town centre businesses and community to really make Harrogate look its best after two challenging years.
Interactive Floral Trail
Seven unique floral installations will be situated around Harrogate Town Centre, each telling their own story of Harrogate’s heritage…expect a giant pair of Stilettos representing Harrogate’s retail offering and a giant Victorian Bath, showcasing Harrogate’s history of being an elegant, royal spa town.
