Families in Harrogate can take part in a new town centre Halloween trail, thanks to Harrogate Mumbler and the Harrogate Business Improvement District.

The aim of the trail is to find Halloween images in the windows of 10 Harrogate shops.

Once the trail is complete, children can collect a Halloween treat.

The initiative will run from Thursday until October 31.

Parents group Harrogate Mumbler and the Harrogate Business Improvement District hope this alternative to trick or treating will entertain children during half-term and encourage families to support the town centre.

All resources, including easy, medium and hard sets of clues and answer sheets, can be found on the Mumbler website here.

Harrogate Mumbler founder Sally Haslewood said:

“As a mum of two, I know how difficult it can be to shop with young children, yet there has never been a bigger need to support our town centre retailers.
"My hope is that this Halloween trail makes a trip to town much more fun for young families, provides a completely free activity for families during half term and brings some much-needed footfall to our town centre.”

  • The public consultation about changes to children's health services has begun. 






To ensure the trail is covid safe, those taking part are asked to do so in small groups or within households or support bubble. All displays are visible from outside so there is no obligation to enter any shops.

Harrogate BID acting chair Sara Ferguson said:

“The trail will allow them to fully explore Harrogate town centre, taking them down streets and into shops they may not have visited before. And once they see just what the town has to offer, I’m sure they will return time and time again.”
