Christmas fundraiser set to hit sunny Harrogate this weekend
Harrogate may be experiencing wall-to-wall sunshine and high temperatures, but for one street, thoughts will turn to Christmas this weekend.
The Commercial Street Jamboree has been organised to raise funds for Supporting Older People to put on a Christmas meal for elderly people who live alone.
The event will also contribute to Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity's funds for an entertainer to visit the children's ward at Harrogate District Hospital.
SOP will hold a book stall on the street, while Harrogate Hospital Radio will be broadcasting from the street. The independent shops along the street will also be getting into the fun of the event, which takes place tomorrow, Saturday, June 17, from 2pm.
Wave Aquariums will be offering face painting, Lilly's Cafe will fire up the barbecue, and there will be an open mic and family entertainment.
Sue Kramer, chair of the Commercial Street Retailers group and owner of Crown Jewellers, said:
