The second ever Harrogate Music Weekender has been hailed as a success after bringing a weekend of music fun to the town centre.
The event, held over the weekend of October 10th – 13th, proved to be another popular occasion across different venues.
From a Taylor Swift tribute at Mama Doreen’s to an Oompah Band at the newly refurbished Coach and Horses, there really was something on offer for everyone across the programme.
The Business Improvement District (BID) said it has received "fantastic" feedback from its members.
One said:
“Thank you so much! We were so happy to have a sold-out event for the Music Weekender, it’s really great event idea and we can’t wait to get involved with what you have planned next."
Another local business owner said:
“I was really happy with the Friday. I got the impression that there was a really good amount of people out and in town.”
Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager, welcomed the positive feedback.
He said:
“It’s been great to hear how much of a positive impact the Music Weekender had on local business once again.
“On both years we’ve organised this excellent event, it’s proved to be a huge hit and has helped massively to drive both footfall and spend into our town centre.
“There were so many top acts on show across the weekend and ‘Singo Bingo’ was definitely another highlight this year. I’d like to offer a big thank you to everyone that got involved to support the event.”
The promotion of the Music Weekender also proved to be popular on the BID’s social media channels, with the Singo Bingo post alone reaching almost 20,000 people.
In total, there were more than 25,000 impressions for the event’s posts on different social media platforms.
Plans are already underway for a bigger and better 2025 programme of events the BID team will deliver, from the Harrogate Self Care Week to the returning Harrogate Lego Trail.
