Harrogate landmarks including Betty's, the Turkish Baths and the Great Yorkshire Showground's main ring, have been built in Lego form for a new family trail around Harrogate.

Harrogate BID’s Lego Trail launches today and runs until Sunday, August 22. It features ten mini-models located in nine different locations, some created especially for this three-week event.

The models have been made by Fairy Bricks, a charity that donates Lego sets to children’s hospices and hospitals.

Other models include Harrogate Town’s mascot Harry Gator and Hogwart’s School from the Harry Potter books.

The models can be found at the following locations:


  • Harrogate Town Football Club Shop, Commercial Street

  • Games Crusade, Oxford Street

  • HSBC, Cambridge Crescent

  • Primark, Cambridge Street

  • Waterstones, James Street

  • Bettys, Parliament Street

  • Maturi, Parliament Street

  • Westmorland Sheepskin, Montpelier Hill

  • Asda, Bower Road

  • Orvis, West Park

  • Victoria Shopping Centre (mosaic and public live build event)

There is also a competition with 500 Lego prizes to be won. To enter, participants need to download the LoyalFree app and ‘check in’ at each venue using the QR code displayed.

The prizes will be collected from Toyland in the Victoria Shopping Centre.

Harrogate BID Manager Chapman Matthew Chapman said:

“With the school summer holidays already here we wanted to create a trail that would really appeal to families.
“With restrictions now lifted, this is one that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and will be a fun way to spend a few hours visiting different parts of the town.
“As a child I loved Lego, and so do my two sons. And as you will see from these creations Lego can be anything but child’s play. I’m really excited to say that we have commissioned a number of models that will be unique to our trail.
“One of our key remits is to drive footfall into the town centre, and we hope our Lego trail will help us to achieve this.”
