Harrogate visitors and residents may have spotted a new addition to the town’s Christmas lights offering this year.
Harrogate BID funds the Christmas lights in Harrogate annually, with the aim of bringing a “vibrant, festive feel” to the town centre.
More than 100,000 LED bulbs, which were turned on in mid-November, have brought a touch of magic to key town centre locations and will illuminate the streets until early January.
New ‘twinkly lights’, featuring LED string lighting, have also been placed along Beulah Street and around the Cenotaph area.
These can be changed to different colours and patterns to match key milestones, celebrations and remembrance periods throughout the year.
However, a new addition this year features a special projection onto the front of the Victoria Shopping Centre, near to the town’s key transport hubs and shopping locations.
Festive-themed patterns and lights will be projected onto the shopping centre to create a visual spectacle.
Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Chief Executive, said:
“The Christmas lights in Harrogate are one of the key campaigns that we fund year on year, so it’s great to bring them back even bigger and better than ever before!
“We have been working alongside a new contractor this year to bring you a state-of-the-art, dazzling display across town.
“We’re also delighted to reveal the additional projection that will also add a new, exciting element to the festive offering in Harrogate.
“We’re passionate about developing and enhancing the Christmas offer for all in our town, so it’s amazing to introduce another added bonus for 2024.”
If you have any feedback to share on the Christmas lights or overall festive offer in Harrogate this year, you can email the BID team on info@harrogatebid.co.uk.
