The Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate has received a welcome boost with the news that a major three-day event will return.

The Ice Cream & Artisan Food Show will be held from February 8 to 10 in 2022.

Harrogate has hosted the show, which is organised by the Ice Cream Alliance, every year since 2008. But the February 2021 edition has been cancelled.

Zelica Carr, chief executive of the association, which is a trade body and membership association for the ice cream industry, said:

“Harrogate is an amazing town with its array of hotels, excellent choice of restaurants, shopping and transportation connection from all over the UK, which caters for all visitors here and abroad via Leeds-Bradford Airport.”

The event showcases a huge assortment of ice cream varieties, equipment and supplies.

It also attracts companies from the coffee, pastry and bakery industries.

The Yorkshire Event Centre, and Harrogate as a whole, has had to cancel numerous trade shows and events this year due to coronavirus.
