Coat of Arms bunting unveiled across Harrogate

Monday, 13 May 2024 10:21

Bunting on James Street in Harrogate.

New bunting displaying Harrogate’s coat of arms has been unveiled across the town.

The bunting, commissioned by Harrogate BID, aims to give visitors a “unique welcome.”

It’s been placed on streets in the town centre including James Street and Princes Street, while other popular shopping areas such as Cambridge Street, Oxford Street and Beulah Street have been lined with spring-themed flags.

Bethany Allen, Business and Marketing Executive at Harrogate BID, said:

“With the town centre streets now adorned with spring colour and the Harrogate Coat of Arms bunting – and with the hanging baskets to follow – it well and truly feels that spring is on its way in the town.

“We will change the bunting at key times of the year to celebrate the European Championships and Yorkshire Day, which will remain up until the Christmas lights return.”

Previously the Harrogate BID team have lined the streets with bunting to celebrate events including the King’s Coronation and Yorkshire Day.

The aim of the BID is to ensure that the pride in the town “shines through” with projects that strengthen the environment for businesses, residents and visitors.

As well as the brand-new bunting, plans to put festoon lighting and street art in place are underway.

If you have any questions, or any feedback to give to the BID team, you can contact them on info@harrogatebid.co.uk
