A big screen on the Stray, picnics and live music will be at the centre of Harrogate's four-day programme of events celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Destination Harrogate and Harrogate Business Improvement District today revealed plans to commemorate the Queen's 70-year reign over the bank holiday weekend from June 2 to 5.

Part of the Stray will be transformed into Jubilee Square. It will include a large stage and video screens to broadcast the Queen’s birthday parade.

Films will be shown and there will also be a dog show and a Harrogate mastermind quiz.

The town centre will be adorned with 4km of bunting and there will be six sets of street entertainers performing across the four days.

Valley Gardens will also host a free family festival, which will feature jugglers, magicians, choirs and fairground rides. An artisan market will also be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Valley Gardens' Sun Colonnades.

Gemma Rio, head of Destination Harrogate, said:

"By providing a large stage and video screens for The Stray and a family festival in Valley Gardens, we’re also showcasing why Harrogate is a great events destination.
“We hope that our residents and visitors will take the opportunity to enjoy the events happening in these glorious outdoor spaces, and experience the town centre buzzing with activity and entertainment for such a jubilant occasion.”
