Harrogate's North Pole Post Office has returned for a fifth year, allowing children to post letters to Father Christmas.
The all-important post box, located at the Harrogate International Festivals office on Cheltenham Parade, is open for business from now until Tuesday 24th December.
Funded by Harrogate BID and produced by Harrogate International Festivals, the North Pole Post Office has become a popular part of the town’s festive celebrations and thousands of letters are received each year.
Visitors can post their letter to Father Christmas in a magical festive setting complete with fairy lights, snow flurries and Christmas music.
They can also download a special letter from Father Christmas via the Harrogate International Festivals website or by scanning the QR code located next to the post box when they drop off their letters.
This year’s free festive fun includes special offers and discounts from the Festivals’ North Pole partners, including Starling Cafe, The Crown Hotel, The Four Leaf, Jespers, Primark and Althams Travel, available when people download the QR code.
Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager, said:
“Christmas is such a wonderful time of year in Harrogate, and we are delighted to be sponsoring the North Pole Post Office once again.
“It brings countless families into the town centre during the festive season and for many of them it has already become an annual tradition.
“This really taps into the spirit of Christmas, not only bringing families together but also local businesses and organisations who work so hard to create something memorable.”
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive at Harrogate International Festivals said:
“The North Pole Post Office started out during lockdown to create a bit of festive magic for children, so the fact that it continues to be one of our most popular community events really warms my heart.
“Free for all the family to join in, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy the lights, snow and festive music and a chance to create some special Christmas memories.”
