Excitement has started to build in Harrogate town centre with the Celebration of Fashion set to take over next week.

The event will be back on the Piazza outside the Victoria Shopping Centre on Saturday, May 18, from 11am onwards, to highlight Harrogate’s retail and fashion offer to visitors and residents alike.

With a wide selection of Harrogate retailers taking part from independent and national sectors, the event promises to be a fantastic celebration of the town’s excellent businesses.

Following feedback from BID Member businesses, there will be three catwalks held over the course of the day, displaying outfits in categories including 'Summer Season', 'Activewear', 'A Day At The Races', 'Harrogate on the High Street', 'Prom Season' and 'Wedding Season'.

Each walk will showcase every category in the celebration to ensure nobody misses out on viewing the clothing and accessories on display.

Not only will there be a range of elegant outfits on show, but in between the walks two presentations from Space, West Park Antiques and Rituals will wow the crowds as they wait for the models to re-take the stage.

A spokesperson for Victoria Shopping Centre, said:

Sponsorship opportunities for each of the categories in this year’s Celebration of Fashion remain open. Included in the set price will be presenter mentions on the day, dedicated social media posts and adverts on the big screen.
