In June last year we at the BID were thrilled to support a number of partners and contacts to bring the first ever Veteran Car Tour of Yorkshire to Harrogate.
The showcase brought thousands of people into Harrogate to view the many unique and one of a kind classic and supercars. You can read more about this here: From the dawn of motoring to modern supercars – Harrogate is in for a treat this weekend
In 2025, there is an aspiration to grow this event, and host on the full length of James Street on 21st June. This will include closing the road to traffic and parking restrictions from 9am – 4pm but will provide a great visual spectacle which appeals to a broad spectrum of car enthusiasts and beyond.
The event will be heavily promoted to the general public in advance and should generate considerable numbers of visitors to Harrogate for the day. Evidence from last year showed that the type of visitor this event attracted directly converted into an increase in spend.
We at the BID have been asked by North Yorkshire Council and the organisers to facilitate a consultation to our members (mostly James Street and adjoining streets please) to collate feedback and a set of data to support or challenge.
