New creative lighting unveiled in Harrogate town centre

Monday, 4 November 2024 09:20

New creative lighting has been installed on Beulah Street in Harrogate.

New creative lighting installations have been unveiled in Harrogate Town Centre.

Funded by Harrogate BID, the outdoor ceiling lighting has been placed along Beulah Street.

And the lights in the trees around the Cenotaph area have been improved as part of the organisation’s ongoing public realm and street dressing initiatives.

The aim of the fittings is to highlight key milestones and celebrations and offer a year-round “visual spectacle.”

The series of bulbs will be in place full-time and can be changed to different colours and patterns to fit with the time of year of specific celebratory and remembrance periods, from Christmas to Halloween, to Easter and Remembrance Day.

Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager, said:

“We’re delighted to announce that the new lighting has been officially installed and switched on in Harrogate.

“They were turned on and trialled to highlight Halloween in Harrogate and are set to be changed to mark Remembrance Day this week.

“We’re pleased to extend our eye-catching public realm around town. Street dressing is always an excellent way to decorate key locations in our town centre and this new fitting adds a new element to our offer!"

Matthew added:

“If you are a charity, community group or religious representative we’d love to hear from you so your colours have the opportunity shine bright”.

“Planning is well underway for next year and we’ve got so many exciting campaigns, events and services in the pipeline that we can’t wait to share with you!”

Harrogate BID’s public realm and street dressing campaigns are aimed at promoting Harrogate’s unique welcome, creating a vibrant town centre through targeted campaigns and impressive installations in line with the group’s objectives and overall Business Plan.

If you have any questions or feedback to offer, you can either email the BID team on info@harrogatebid.co.uk or visit their website.
