Harrogate comes together to prepare for royal visit
Harrogate BID, Harrogate Chamber and a number of local businesses have joined together to prepare for a special visit from Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.
The Grade 2 listed buildings of Prince Albert Row are home to some of the town’s longest established and respected businesses in Harrogate including Woods Fine Linens who Her Royal Highness will visit.
With the imminent visit from The Princess Royal, the business owners - with the support of Harrogate BID and Harrogate Chamber - have been ensuring Prince Albert Row looks its best.
Works have taken place on the exteriors and the street furniture has received a new coat of paint.
Led by Woods Fine Linens, a leaflet highlighting the businesses within Prince Albert Row has been designed, printed and distributed to hotels and tourist information centres across the region.
The aim of the leaflet is to promote the beautiful conservation area and the long established businesses within the row.
Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager said:
“We’re pleased to have funded the repainting of the street furniture on Prince Albert Row in preparation for the visit as well as help the businesses distribute their new leaflet.
“The Royal visit is certain to further shine a spotlight on Prince Albert Row, as a great place to visit, for its beautiful buildings as well as fantastic shops.”
Martin Mann, Acting Chief Executive Officer Harrogate Chamber of Commerce added:
“We are all looking forward to welcoming The Princess Royal to Harrogate and working together to ensure she gets to see us at our best.”
Mr Woods, Woods Fine Linen said:
