    Forget the John Lewis TV ad — the unveiling of the Bettys Christmas window marks the start of Christmas for many people in Harrogate.

    It has been a low key occasion for the last two years due to covid. But tonight, for the first time since 2019, the company is making an occasion of it.

    The fun will start at 5pm with Christmas carols outside the flagship Parliament Street store. The first 200 people attending will receive free hot drinks and mince pies.

    Branch manager Janet Parker will appear shortly before 5.30pm to welcome everyone and lead a countdown, which will end with the blind going up to reveal the display.

    There will also be a raffle and the shop will stay open until 6pm.

    Staff will be on hand to manage the crowd and to prevent people from spilling on to the road.

    A Bettys spokeswoman said the display was installed last night and is being kept hidden until tonight. She added:

    "Let's just say it will be a Christmas cracker. We are really excited to have everyone back. "
