Evening & Night Time Economy

1% OF TOTAL SPEND TO DATE

Harrogate’s nighttime economy is a vital part of our town’s offer, and the BID has worked to support this in numerous ways throughout 2020.

Amplifying Your Voice

In June, upon reopening of pubs and restaurants, the Harrogate BID acted to amplify the voice of businesses and urged our BID partners, Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council to ‘cut red tape’ and assist pubs, bars and cafes with limited outdoor space to be able to use the pavements outside their properties to aid with social distancing. Pubwatch

In November, we enabled Pubwatch to sustain their activities through financial support for the development of an app. Once pre-pandemic normality has returned, this app will assist with making Harrogate a safer place, day and night.

Provision of furniture

We also purchased 180 outdoor tables and 380 outdoor chairs for these businesses to us to enhance the area and to ensure that they could utilise this additional space and to help sustain the hospitality sector.
