Leading electric vehicle show returns to Harrogate for third year

Wednesday, 4 March 2026 08:24

Everything Electric North is returning to Harrogate.

One of the world's leading electric vehicle and clean energy events is returning to Harrogate this spring.

Everything Electric will take place at the Great Yorkshire Event Centre on 8th and 9th May, marking the third time the festival has been hosted in the town.

Organisers say the event, described as the world’s number one “Festival of Electrification”, is expected to attract between 20,000 and 25,000 visitors as interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and home energy technology continues to grow across the North of England.

The two-day event will feature exhibitors, attractions and the EV Test Drive Experience, giving visitors the opportunity to try out vehicles from multiple manufacturers.

Alongside the consumer show, organisers will host a B2B EV Day on Friday 8th May in response to the increasing focus on fleet electrification and salary sacrifice schemes.

Business visitors will be able to attend dedicated theatre sessions focused on financial savings and industry guidance, as well as take part in electric vehicle test drives.

The event will also showcase home energy technology and offer advice on reducing household bills and carbon emissions.

A live theatre programme will include more than 30 sessions featuring expert panellists and special guests discussing electric vehicles, clean energy, sustainable living and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics.

Visitors will also be able to try test rides on bikes, scooters and skateboards, while a range of family-friendly activities will take place across the site.

New for 2026 will be The Electric Cinema, where visitors can watch episodes from the Everything Electric CARS and Everything Electric TECH YouTube channels.

Several presenters and personalities are expected to appear on stage during the event, including Robert Llewellyn, known for his role in Red Dwarf and the programme Scrapheap Challenge, along with Helen Czerski and Dave Borlace.

Day and weekend tickets are now on sale, with prices starting from £10, while under-15s can attend for free. Find out more and get your tickets here.
