The Stray, Harrogate

Stray Bonfire

The 2008 Stray Bonfire was another success for the organisers, Harrogate Round Table, with over 10,000 people attending on a cold November evening.

In excess of £7500 raised on the night for Saint Michael's Hospice.

A big thank you to all who attended.



This 200 acres of land wraps around the main urban "old town" and is fiercely guarded by residents with a group set up specifically to safeguard it. The Stray exists for the people of the town and is a popular spot for picnicking, kite-flying, outdoor games and local football matches.
Facilities
This area of grassland surrounds the town so you are never far away from refreshments or toilet facilities.

Parking
Please note that parking is not allowed on the grassland. On-street disc zone car parking is available around the town centre and surrounding most areas of the Stray.


Opening times
The Stray is open land and is therefore open all year, 24 hours a day.

Disabled access

Pathways suitable for wheelchairs run across all major sections of the Stray.
