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:


"After the success of our Christmas chocolate collections for Harrogate Food Bank, this is the fantastic brainchild of Sue from Lilly’s Cafe with Tony from Curtain and Blind Design helping to organise.
"All proceeds from the various activities will go direct to the local charities.
"There is an amazing raffle with prizes donated by Commercial Street Retailers Group member shops, who will be wearing purple t-shirts.
"Raffle tickets can be purchased at the Harrogate Town shop, The Cheeseboard and Curtain & Blind design – who are also featuring all the fantastic prizes in their shop window."
