North Pole postal workers: Bethany Allen of Harrogate BID and Clemence Roux of Harrogate International Festivals.

Children can once again send their letters to Father Christmas this year, thanks to the return of the North Pole Post Office in Harrogate.

The seasonal initiative, which is back for its fourth year, is produced by Harrogate International Festivals and funded by Harrogate BID.

Located at the Harrogate International Festivals office on Cheltenham Parade, the North Pole Post Office – Harrogate branch – has been a key festive feature in the town since 2020, with bright lights, snow flurries, Christmas music and the all-important postbox, which receives thousands of letters every year.

Visitors can download a special letter and message from Father Christmas via the Harrogate International Festivals website or by scanning the QR code located next to the post box.

Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID manager, said:

“Harrogate BID are thrilled to be sponsoring the North Pole Post Office again in 2023.
“It is a superb attraction that adds to the Christmas offer in Harrogate. It brings so many families into the town during the festive season and has become an annual tradition for many.
“Harrogate is sure set for another great Christmas period with so many great things to do and see, thanks to a host of different organisations all working together.”


The North Pole Post Office is one of the key features in the town’s Christmas campaign this year, alongside the Christmas lights, the Christmas Fayre, the Candy Cane Express, the ice-skating rink, the Father Christmas Experience, and the open-top bus, which is a new addition this year.

Sharon Canavar, chief executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said:

“Originally conceived during lockdown, the North Pole Post Office continues to be one of our favourite community events. A free-for-all-the-family opportunity, and perfect for the festive pictures, the lights, snow and festive music all surrounding this very special post office bring lots of footfall to this side of town at all times of day.”
