Magic Christmas

For that magical Christmas feel, Harrogate has it all!

If you want to enjoy your Christmas shopping this year then the elegant and cosmopolitan Harrogate is the place for you.  With an eclectic mix of shops on offer from the usual chain stores (Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and BHS  to name a few) to the small boutiques and speciality stores (such as The Cheeseboard specialising in international cheeses and gifts) you are sure to find a Christmas gift to bring a smile to even the most ‘difficult' recipient!

Of course to ensure your day of shopping is an enjoyable experience you will also need to sample one of the many delightful places Harrogate has to offer for lunch or a coffee. With a vast array of restaurants from Italian to Japanese you will be spoilt for choice and no trip to Harrogate would be complete without a visit to Betty's famous Tea Rooms, where you can dine on afternoon tea served in old fashioned elegant surroundings.

Town Centre

The bustling town centre is decked out in sparkling Christmas lights while carol singers and brass bands entertain the crowds. There are a huge variety of shops within the town centre including the famous Hoopers Department Store and Weetons - the purveyor of all things Yorkshire. Whoever you are shopping for the perfect gift will be easy to find.

The Montpellier Quarter

Take a short walk from Betty's Tea Room down Montpellier Hill and you will find yourself in the Montpelier Quarter. The charming ‘olde world' surroundings of the Quarter will really get you in the Christmas mood. The quarter is home to over 80 exclusive shops, cafes and bars and has many art galleries and antique shops. It is also the place to find contemporary fashion retailers such as London fashion designer Caroline Charles nestled next to Farrahs famous toffee and food emporium. It's a real diverse and exclusive mix – you are sure to find an unusual gift here.

Victoria Shopping Centre

Also known as ‘The Young Heart of Harrogate' the Victoria Shopping Centre has gifts and fashions for the younger members of the family. With many stores like H&M, New Look, TK Maxx, La Senza and Body Shop, together with toy shops and mobile phone and gadget stores you will definitely find what is on Santa's list this year! One of the best things about the Victoria Shopping Centre is the fact that it's indoors, meaning that whatever the weather you can still shop til you drop and then grab a coffee or some lunch in one of the many places to eat.

Westminster Arcade

An authentic Victorian arcade with small speciality shops and salons offering a wide array of gift ideas.

Christmas Fairs
