The Harrogate BID team were delighted to claim yet another gold award at this year’s Yorkshire in Bloom awards, recognising the vital work the team do to ensure the town remains a key floral destination.

The Business Improvement District’s (BID’s) Floral Summer of Celebration event won Gold at the awards, following the trail held earlier in the year with 10 dazzling displays attracting thousands of visits into Harrogate town centre.
The judges said the trail was “complimented by the excellent shop window competition” and “an excellent collaboration of BID members”. They added that it demonstrated “a great collective effort in brightening up the town centre.”
The judges recognised all the additional work the BID provides to support Harrogate as a significant floral destination, praising the successful Floral Shop Window Competition, street art projects and initiatives such as the Lego Trail.
Bethany Allen, Projects and Operations Executive, said “We are absolutely delighted to be bringing home a Yorkshire in Bloom gold award yet again. It is a great reflection and recognition of the hard work that goes into ensuring Harrogate is a floral destination.”
“We are also extremely grateful for the collaboration in the town that allows these initiatives to take place, including local florist Helen James, Harrogate in Bloom, North Yorkshire Council, Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce as generous sponsors of this years trail and our ever supportive BID members, to be awarded on a regional level is a huge honour for us and we can’t wait to bring more floral excellence to the town.”
“The Harrogate Floral Summer of Celebration campaign saw its fourth year this year, with plans in place already for next year.”
The floral trail has seen success in Yorkshire in Bloom and Britain in Bloom since 2022 – with the BID team setting their sights on more floral success in 2026.
