Harrogate Town to sell Wrexham tickets at Stray Bonfire

Wednesday, 30 October 2024 07:12

Harrogate's Stray Bonfire event returns this weekend.

Harrogate Town will be selling tickets for their upcoming FA Cup clash with Wrexham at the Stray Bonfire this weekend.

The fireworks event is returning to the Stray on Saturday 2nd November between 5pm and 8pm, with the fireworks display at 7:15pm.

There will be live entertainment and refreshments on the Stray near Oatlands Drive from 5pm.

And representatives from Harrogate Town, who are sponsoring the event, will have their own stall to sell tickets for the club’s match against Wrexham at The Exercise Stadium on Sunday (3rd November).

The Stray Bonfire, organised by Harrogate and District Roundtable, will be supporting St Michael’s this year.

Tim Gill from the Roundtable said:

“It’s great to continue our tradition of organising the Bonfire and Fireworks for the people of Harrogate and in aid of our charity partners.

“The event has been consistently popular for over 50 years, raising thousands of pounds for good causes and we hope the public and local sponsors will again feel able to support us this year.”

Tony Collins, Chief Executive of St Michael’s Hospice said:

“We’re really pleased to be associated with this popular community event, and our volunteers will be there on the night to help with the event and raise funds for St Michael’s.

“Money raised at the event will enable us to continue our work offering vital hospice care, emotional wellbeing and bereavement support to local communities.”

The event is funded by public donations and sponsorship alone.

Members of public can donate prior to the event at a Go Fund page: https://gofund.me/b45468f3 or by texting STRAYBONFIRE to 70560 to donate £5.

Volunteers will be collecting cash and electronic donations on the night itself. There are also opportunities for companies to sponsor the event, any enquiries should be directed to: hdrtbonfire@gmail.com
