Popular flower picking attraction to bring colourful blooms and family fun to Harrogate this summer

The team behind The Flower Belt in Helmsley has announced the launch of The Flower Belt in Harrogate, which will officially open on Saturday, July 18 at 10am.

The new attraction will offer visitors the chance to wander through vibrant flower fields, pick their own bouquets and enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment in a picturesque rural setting.

Positioned between Harrogate and Ripon, the new site has been carefully chosen for its accessibility, with the popular 36 bus service stopping outside the entrance, making it easy for both locals and visitors to enjoy a day out without needing to drive.

The expansion follows the success of The Flower Belt site near Helmsley, which is now celebrating its fifth year and has become a popular destination for families, couples, photographers and day-trippers from across Yorkshire.

The Wainwright family, who run The Flower Belt, say the new venture marks an exciting milestone as they continue to grow the business and create unique outdoor experiences for visitors.

Guests can look forward to stunning flower displays, panoramic countryside views and freshly made pizzas, alongside a packed programme of events throughout the summer season.

One of the standout features of the new attraction will be its regular live music evenings, with performances taking place every weekend to create a relaxed festival-style atmosphere among the flowers.

Henry Wainwright said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring The Flower Belt to Harrogate.

“We’ve always wanted to create places where people can slow down, spend time outdoors and enjoy simple experiences together.

“Harrogate felt like the perfect next step for us, and we can’t wait to welcome people through the gates for the very first time.”
