Harrogate fashion show set to return for third year

Tuesday, 11 March 2025 12:24

Harrogate's Celebration of Fashion is returning to the town in May.

Harrogate's Celebration of Fashion is set to return for a third year in May.

The popular fashion show is organised by Harrogate BID, with an official date set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

In the build up to the event, the BID is preparing to host two sessions to allow the town’s business community to find out more.

The informative sessions are set to be held on Wednesday 26th March at 4pm and Wednesday 1st April at 10am.

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

“Every year our Celebration of Fashion attracts thousands of people into our town centre.

“We’re very passionate about promoting the offer in our town and this is a fantastic opportunity to shout about our strong retail sector."

She added:

“Another key reason we deliver this is to increase footfall and spend – and feedback from our members has suggested that the event definitely has a positive impact.

“Join us for the sessions over the next couple of weeks to find out more information.

"The fashion event could be the perfect chance to shine a light your business and products!”

Last year, figures from the data firm HUQ show that more than 60,000 people passed through the BID area on the day of the event, 7,000 more than the first event in 2023 and 23% up on a typical Saturday.

Meanwhile, feedback from residents and visitors suggested the event was another “fantastic success”, helping to promote both Harrogate’s independent and national businesses that make up the town’s attractive offer.

If you would like to attend the informative sessions, contact the BID team on info@harrogatebid.co.uk
