Mayor opens Harrogate Big Wheel to riders

A 32-metre observation wheel is being assembled in Harrogate town centre.

A popular 32-metre observation wheel is now back in Harrogate town centre and welcoming riders.

The big wheel, operated by WM Attractions Limited, is in place on Cambridge Crescent, offering views across the town and surrounding district.

And Councillor Chris Aldred, Mayor of Harrogate, was among the first to jump on board.

The wheel will run daily from 11am to 7pm until Sunday 7th September.

No advance booking is required, with tickets priced at £5 for those under 1.4 metres and £7 for those over 1.4 metres. 

The wheel is accessible to some wheelchairs and mobility scooters, depending on the model, and well-behaved dogs may join their owners for the ride.

Operations will be weather dependent, and the attraction may close at short notice in adverse conditions.

The wheel has been co-ordinated by North Yorkshire Council.
