The winners of the Harrogate Mumbler Awards 2025 have been announced following a glittering event on Saturday (29th November).
The event featured dancing, glitterballs and a series of interactive challenges, following this year's theme “Strictly Come Mumbler”.
The annual awards bring together local families, businesses and community organisations to recognise excellence across Harrogate’s family-focused sectors.
Guests took part in a “build a glitterball trophy” competition and a “guess the dance” quiz, before enjoying a screening of the event’s specially produced “Murder on the Dancefloor” music video, created with the help of sponsors and finalists.
Thanks to raffle donations and the generosity of attendees, the evening raised more than £1,800 for the nominated charity, Time Together.
Sixteen categories were celebrated on the night, recognising standout local venues, classes, businesses and individuals.
