Who we are and what we do

Events Harrogate is the new Events Bureau for the Harrogate district. Showcasing all of the reasons why Harrogate is the perfect place to host a conference, exhibition, meeting or event.

The Harrogate district has been hosting events to entertain visitors ever since the elite of Britain and Europe first came to ‘take the waters.’ When spa treatments declined, Harrogate was reinvented as a ‘Conference Town.’ With an impressive Convention Centre at the heart of Harrogate town centre, a range of luxury hotels, wide-open spaces set alongside glorious countryside, historic theatres and boutique meeting rooms, it’s easy to see why.

Whether you are looking for something a little different or just want to make this magnificent location the backdrop to an exceptional event, there is something to meet your event needs and more.

With excellent transport links, Harrogate is just 30 minutes from the bustling city centre of Leeds but offers a more relaxed pace without losing the cosmopolitan feel of a city. The surrounding areas of Boroughbridge, Knaresborough, Masham, Nidderdale, Pateley Bridge and Ripon provide a range of outdoor spaces and activities as well as the perfect escape for some downtime after a busy day.

Events Harrogate will provide you with all the support you need to deliver an exceptional event in one of England’s most beautiful settings.
