What lessons can be learned from the 2015 masterplan?

Early plans have been revealed to create a visitor centre and events space in Harrogate.

The venue would be created by transforming West Park United Reformed Church, which overlooks the Stray on West Park.

Harrogate District Improvement Trust is holding a meeting at Hotel du Vin on June 13 to discuss the proposal.

West Park United Reformed Church



The trust, which was set up to promote improvements in Harrogate, said in an email announcing the meeting it was "an opportunity to create a major attraction  for Harrogate", adding:

"The West Park United Reformed Church building is too large for its current congregation but has potential to house a visitor centre showcasing Harrogate’s spa history, as well as a large events space.
"Plans are at a very early stage but include the creation of a community arts and heritage centre.
"We would really appreciate the chance to present our vision to you and gather your feedback. "


The email urged those unable to attend to get in touch so look around the building and meet with trustees to find out more.
