Harrogate BID brings fashion show to town centre

Harrogate BID’s Celebration of Fashion event will return to the town centre on 17th May 2025.

The show will take place at the Piazza area of the Victoria Shopping Centre.

The event was set up to highlight both national chains and local independent retailers in Harrogate.

Previous years have brought thousands of visitors, and feedback from businesses and residents found the event helped drive up footfall and spending in the town.

This year’s line-up includes a summer range and Harrogate on the high street.

Organisers said there is still space for more retailers to take part, and volunteers are needed to help model clothes and accessories.

Bethany Allen, operations and projects executive at Harrogate BID, said: “We can’t wait to deliver this excellent event again for another year, it’s always a popular celebration!

“Not only does it help to shine a light on our town’s amazing retail offer, but evidence shows that it also drives both footfall and spend into our town’s businesses.

“A good number of both nationals and independent businesses have signed up so far, but we’ve still got space for more if you’d like to show off your latest spring and summer ranges or super service.”

Allen added: “We’re also encouraging any volunteers that may be looking to help out with modelling some of the latest styles and fashion accessories to get in touch with us!”
