A trophy will be presented to an overall winner in the three categories of: hotels & guest houses; pubs, restaurants & cafes and retail. Matthew Chapman, BID Manager, said:
"The Floral Window competition is a great opportunity for businesses to show off their creative flair, through their displays. "Harrogate is known far and wide for its attention to detail on floral displays, so what better way to add to that than to encourage more companies to focus on flowers! "We already have more than a dozen businesses signed up, and with three weeks to go, I’m confident they will be joined by plenty more."Winners will be announced at an awards evening to be held on Thursday 21st September at the West Park Hotel.
