Harrogate’s annual bonfire is set to go-ahead this weekend after a safety inspection.

The event, which is organised by Harrogate and District Round Table, will return on Saturday, November 4, for its 52nd year.

The bonfire will be lit on the Oatlands Stray near to St Aidan’s Church of England High School.

In a post on its social media this morning, Harrogate and District Round Table said:

“Follow a safety inspection this morning, we are delighted to confirm that the Stray Bonfire and Fireworks is going ahead as planned.”


The decision comes despite heavy rain in Harrogate this week caused by Storm Ciarán.

Meanwhile, nearby Wetherby Town Council has been forced to postpone its bonfire event on Saturday due to adverse weather and ground conditions.

The Harrogate event will take place from 5pm until 8.30pm and include fireworks and live music.

The bonfire is free to attend but the round table, which is a charity, will raise funds for Harrogate Homeless Project.

It has set up a GoFundMe page and urged people to text BONFIRE to 70560 to donate £5.
