Florist wins Harrogate Christmas shop window competition
A florist has won this year’s Harrogate Christmas shop window competition.
It was hard fought with 27 shops taking part but Helen James Flowers, on Station Parade, took the top spot.
The competition aims to promote the town centre’s shops and encourage people to shop locally.
With shops pulling out all the stops it also gives Harrogate a festive boost.
As in previous years there are three separate categories for large, medium and small retailers.

Mama Doreen’s Emporium was the winner in the large shops category, Helen James Flowers won the medium shops category, and Boho Chic, on West Parade, was the winner in the small shops category.
Graham Saunders, who organised the judging on behalf of the Rotary Club, said:
This year Harrogate BID partnered with the Rotary Club of Harrogate on the initiative. Each of the winners took home a Harrogate BID gift card.
Sara Ferguson, the Acting Chair of the BID, congratulated all the retailers for making the extra effort to decorate their window for Christmas and take part in the competition during this very difficult time.
