    Pupils from six Harrogate schools have said what they love about Harrogate in a new film that aims to pull more people into the town centre.

    Children from St Peter's, Coppice Valley, Birstwith and Admiral Long, Oatlands, Richard Taylor and Western primary schools took centre stage in the 'I Love Harrogate' film.

    The film is being projected onto the window of an empty shop window on the side of Victoria Shopping Centre, across from Beulah Street, until February 23.

    It aims to capture the imagination of some of Harrogate's youngest residents and encourage more people town.

    Paul Griffiths, head of St Peter’s Church of England Primary School said:

    "We were delighted to be invited to contribute to this video, and our children really enjoyed saying why they love Harrogate.
    “We are very fortunate to live in Harrogate, and even luckier that our school is in the middle of the town. On our doorstep we have The Stray, the library and its gardens, and of course all the great shops, restaurants and entertainment venues, all within a short walk.”

    The installation has been put on by Harrogate Business Improvement District. The BID is currently offering grants to entertainers with a "wow factor" to liven up Harrogate town centre’s streets.

    It is hoping more events and installations will drive footfall into the town centre. It is offering the grants in order to cover any costs incurred as long as the idea satisfies funding criteria.

    Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID manager, said:

    “The I love Harrogate video is the first in a series of films that we are making with those who live and work in the town. It is also a reminder that for many years Harrogate has been held up as one of the happiest places to live.
    “I love Harrogate will be shown on a continuous loop in the window of the empty shop unit, and we hope those who star in it will encourage their family and friends to come into town to view it, and of course to take the opportunity to shop, eat and drink.”
