Another successful fashion show held in Harrogate

Thursday, 22 May 2025 10:44

Harrogate BID's Celebration of Fashion returned last weekend.

Another successful Celebration of Fashion event took place over the weekend to shine a light on Harrogate's top retail offer.

The event, organised by the Business Improvement District (BID) team every year, encourages both local people and visitors into the town centre to join in with the fun.

The sun shone down on the Piazza area on Saturday (May 17th) as the volunteer models took to the catwalk to strut their stuff and show off some of the best ranges from Harrogate’s businesses.

From super summer dresses and radiant races outfits, to wonderful wedding garments and clothing celebrating Harrogate’s vibrant high street, models flaunted the latest ranges from the town centre’s retailers.

Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said:

“We were once again thrilled with the response to our fashion celebration, in line with previous years!

“We’d like to give a huge thank you to all of our volunteers, including models and those working behind the scenes, for supporting us in delivering yet another fantastic event.

“We also couldn’t bring this together without the help of our town’s brilliant business community, so our thanks go out to our retailers too.

“We deliver this event every year to not only showcase our town’s varied offer, but to drive both footfall and spend into our businesses.

“We’re keen to work alongside our members to gather feedback on how we can further enhance our fashion celebration in the future.”

Harrogate BID said it has received "useful feedback" on this year’s celebration, including from a number of models who frequently take part in fashion events - and said this year’s in Harrogate was one of the best they’ve attended.
