Schoolchildren star in 'I Love Harrogate' film
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:
