Free Easter Trail to bring exciting family fun to Harrogate town centre this spring
Families are being invited to join in the fun this spring as a new Easter Trail launches across Harrogate town centre for the first time.
Running from Saturday 28 March till Saturday 11 April, the free family-friendly event will be offering a range of activities for visitors during the Easter holidays.
The trail, organised by Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID) and sponsored by The Crown Hotel, will see families exploring the town centre in search of hidden Easter eggs displayed in the windows of participating businesses.
Trail sheets can be collected from The Crown Hotel, where participants will begin their Easter adventure.
Once they have located each Easter egg and collected the letters to form the secret phrase, participants can return their completed trail sheet to the Crown Hotel to receive a free Easter egg, provided in partnership with Tesco.
Alongside the trail itself, families will also be able to enjoy Easter-themed crafts, games and refreshments at The Place at The Crown Hotel.
The participating businesses across the town centre include:
- Specsavers on Beulah Street
- Althams Travel on Cambridge Street
- Harrogate Town Shop on Commercial Street
- Starling on Oxford Street
- Three’s a Crowd on West Park
- Farmhouse on Station Parade
- Verity Frearson on Station Parade
- Wetherspoons on Parliament Street
- Crema Coffee on Royal Parade
- Yorkshire Soap Company on James Street
Bethany Allen, Operations Manager at Harrogate BID, said: “We are really excited to bring the Easter Trail to Harrogate town centre for the first time.
"It’s a great way for families to explore the town during the Easter holidays while visiting a range of local businesses along the way.”
Dan Siddle, General Manager at The Crown Hotel, added: “We’re delighted to support Harrogate BID with this year’s Easter Trail, building on the success of the LEGO and Halloween trails.
"Events like this bring a real boost in footfall across the town and, most importantly, offer families a free, fun and engaging activity during the school holidays.
“At The Place at the Crown Hotel, we’ll be joining the festivities with Easter-themed arts and crafts indoors if the weather turns, and giant Jenga along with outdoor games if we’re lucky enough to enjoy some spring sunshine.
"Our Head Chef, Chris Eastwood, has also been busy creating a selection of Easter-inspired treats, and we’re excited to be launching our new ice cream offering in collaboration with Northern Bloc.
"We can’t wait to welcome families and help make this Easter Trail one to remember.”
