Harrogate is set for three days of sweet music in October as it aims to attract visitors to its town centre.

Harrogate BID is hosting a three-day Music Weekender from Friday October 11 to Sunday October 13 across town centre venues.

The business group says the event will not only showcase Harrogate’s hospitality offer, but also drive footfall into the town with the aim of increasing spend in local businesses.

The Harrogate Music Weekender will see live performances, DJ sets, street entertainers and special offers around Harrogate – with some new additions to last year.

Bethany Allen, Operations and Projects Executive at Harrogate BID, said: “We’re so excited for the Music Weekender fun to return to our town!

“It proved to be a huge hit last year, with really positive feedback coming from local businesses, residents and visitors.

“It’s a fantastic way of highlighting our town’s excellent hospitality and night-time economy offer – and we can’t wait to share what we’ve got coming up this year!

“We’re bringing the event back bigger and better this year, so watch this space for further releases soon…”

A first drop-in session was held last week for local business and venue owners to attend to find out more information, with a second to be held from 4pm on Thursday, September 5 at The Den on Cambridge Road.

The BID is also providing match-funding to venues introducing a new or additional event or service to its usual offering during the Music Weekender.

Further details on this year’s Harrogate Music Weekender will be released over the coming weeks.
