    Harrogate Business Improvement District will be joined by representatives from Market Place Europe and Destination Harrogate to share plans for Christmas 2022 to businesses.

    Last Christmas saw a change to previous years with the creation of the first Harrogate Christmas Fayre, in the town centre from December 3 to 12. Festivities included a free road train called the Candy Cane Express, a carousel, helter skelter and ferris wheel.

    It followed Harrogate Borough Council's decision to deny a licence to the former market organised by the Harrogate Christmas Market on Montpellier Hill.

    The meeting this Thursday is at the Yorkshire Hotel's Sky Bar at 5.30pm.

    Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID manager, said:



    “At Thursday’s BID Club, we will be informing businesses what will be happening within the town centre this festive season.
    “We will be joined by Destination Harrogate and Market Place Europe, who will update us on this year’s Christmas Fayre, including location and number of stalls.
    “This meeting is open to all businesses within the BID area, and will be an opportunity for them to ask questions, and to find out how that can get involved with making Christmas 2022 a festive season to remember.”

    How the food hall will look.



    Marks and Spencer has temporarily closed its cafe at its Oatlands food hall in Harrogate.

    The company planned to close the cafe for good as part of an expansion of its Leeds Road site, but decided to retain it after a customer petition.

    But a smaller, new-look cafe will open when the expanded site is launched.

    The rest of the food hall will continue to trade throughout with some areas blocked off while the work is underway.

    Store manager David Anderson said:



    "We’re delighted to confirm that as part of the upcoming extension and refresh of our Harrogate Oatlands store, customers will be able enjoy a new-look M&S cafe alongside a fresh-market style food hall, offering a bigger range of M&S food products than ever before.
    "We expect to complete the works later this year and will keep the local community updated as they progress. We would also like to thank local residents around us for their ongoing support as we work to improve the store."
