“Culture Creative are masters at delivering stunning visual displays in large, outdoor settings, and they are now adding The Valley Gardens to their impressive list of locations, which includes some of the most famous gardens in the UK, America and Australia.

“I’d like to thank Harrogate Borough Council and Harrogate BID for their support, and without trying to jinx anything, the weather forecast is looking great for the three nights of The Fire and Light Experience – a trail of blaze and brilliance through the Valley Gardens.”
