A giant 32m Ferris wheel will provide spectacular aerial views of Harrogate and the surrounding area, illuminated after dark in festive splendour, while a traditional carousel and children’s rides will thrill little ones and bigger kids alike.

Harrogate Christmas Fayre, launched in 2021, makes a welcome return but bigger and better, with more than fifty stalls to browse for Christmas gifts, decorations and seasonal foodie treats. The traditional Christmas market will run from 2nd – 11th December and will offer an eclectic mix of enticing stalls to complement the incredible wealth of independent retailers, restaurants, bars and boutique stores in Harrogate town centre.

 

In addition to the chance for a truly Harrogate Christmas shopping experience there will be children’s entertainments to captivate young ones and Christmas music to set the perfect Christmas mood.
