Harrogate BID to fund free town centre parking next week Harrogate BID is funding free parking to give town centre retailers an Autumn boost before the busy Christmas period. Visitors heading to the spa town from Monday 9th – Sunday 15th October will be able to park free of charge from 4pm (until close, Monday – Wednesday 11pm and Thursday to Saturday midnight) in the Jubilee Multi-Storey Car Park. The campaign also aims to support the three great events happening in the town during week commencing 9th October; Harrogate BIDs Harrogate Music Weekender, the Visit Harrogate Restaurant Week and Harrogate Theatre’s Comedy Festival, as well as the great retail and hospitality offer in the town. The initiative follows on from the ‘Free after Three’ campaign which is ran by Harrogate BID in the lead up to Christmas. Harrogate BID Manager Matthew Chapman said:
"This is just one of the examples of how Harrogate BID is supporting town centre businesses and partner events. "By providing free parking in Harrogate during this exciting week of events, we are giving residents and visitors an added incentive to come into town to shop, eat, drink and enjoy three great Harrogate initiatives."Harrogate Theatre Marketing Manager Natalie Rawel said:
“Free parking for this week of the Comedy Festival will be brilliant for our audiences as it means they can drive into the centre of town without having to think about where to park and how much it might cost. “It’s great to be working with the BID and this will definitely encourage more people to travel into Harrogate to both experience Restaurant Week and see what’s on during the Comedy Festival.”More information can be found at www.harrogatebid.co.uk Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
