Harrogate Borough Council

 

Harrogate Tourist Information Centre celebrated the 150th Great Yorkshire Show this week, when they presented a complimentary show ticket and a gift bag of Harrogate goodies to the last customer to buy an advance ticket from the centre.

 

Mr & Mrs Howarth usually make a day trip to visit the Show, but this year decided to stay for the week. Once booked into their accommodation, they called in to the TIC to purchase their tickets and were delighted to be told they were the lucky recipients of free tickets to the show and a selection of Harrogate souvenirs including a watercolour print and some locally produced soap made with hand drawn water from Harrogate Spa. Originally from Yorkshire, Mr & Mrs Howarth now live in Northwich.

 

Harrogate Tourist Information Centre has sold Great Yorkshire Show tickets since 2004. Tickets go on sale from 1st May each year and are available at the advance purchase price.

 

Harrogate's Tourist Information Centre is operated by Harrogate International Centre. There are four TIC's across the district with further Centre's in Ripon, Pateley Bridge and Knaresborough. One of the busiest TIC's in North Yorkshire, Harrogate TIC experiences increased footfall during major local events such as the Harrogate Flower Shows and the Great Yorkshire Show.
