Harrogate Convention Centre events still on despite lockdown delay
The first events back at the Harrogate Convention Centre are still set to go ahead despite the lockdown delay.
Home and Gift Buyers Festival and the Manchester Furniture Festival will both be in the convention centre from July 18 to July 21.
It will mean the event will run for one day before the coronavirus restrictions are potentially eased on July 19.
Clarion Events, which is organising the events, has said it is working closely with local authorities to ensure it is safe.
Visitors will be asked to provide a negative lateral flow coronavirus test on the door or proof of double vaccination and wear a face mask.
