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:
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.
