Write to Father Christmas: Harrogate's free North Pole Post Office is launched for festive season
The North Pole Post Office has reopened in Harrogate with the expectation of handling upwards of 3,000 letters from local children sending their messages to Father Christmas this Christmas.
Hosted by Harrogate International Festivals’ each festive season, it’s the fifth year the town’s highly-respected arts charity has run its magical post office in the town centre with the support of Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID).
After being launched earlier in the week, families are now being invited to visit the North Pole Post Office completely for free to post your child’s letter to Father Christmas and enjoy an enchanting post office setting.
Located on Cheltenham Parade, the HIF office has had a sparkling North Pole makeover by the elves and is now accepting Christmas post.


No stamps required are required but don't forget to download your letter from Father Christmas from the Harrogate International Festivals website using the QR Code located by the Post Office box.
As an extra festive bonus, grown-ups are being further advised that, when you scan the QR Code, look out for deals and discounts from North Pole partners, including Starling Cafe, The Crown Hotel, The Four Leaf, Jespers, Primark and Althams Travel, for all the family to enjoy.
The North Pole Post Office in Harrogate is open for business until noon on Christmas Eve on Tuesday, December 24.
