Open for business
Harrogate Christmas & Gift extends a warm welcome to all exhibitors and visitors attending the 2017 show. The doors open today (Sunday 8th January) at 9.00am and if pre-registrations are anything to go by, you can expect another very busy show this year. With two new additional halls of the Harrogate International Centre (Hall Q and The Kings Suite) and a significant increase in exhibitors, retailers and buyers can expect an action packed four days with a whole host of exciting new products to tempt their customers.
With so much to see, it is worth allowing plenty of time for your visit. If you are staying for several days in Harrogate, we hope you get to enjoy the hospitality that this beautiful North Yorkshire town has to offer, with numerous fabulous bars and restaurants, famous Betty’s tea rooms and the Royal Turkish Baths.

Stay put
After the great success of the Original Haute Décor Mantle Clips in the UK since 2015, Anglo American Distributors, which exclusively distributes the range, 
has decided to increase its product lines for 2017. Haute Décor stocking hangers are safer for inquisitive children and pets than the heavy block type – which rely on their heavy weight to ‘stay put’. Haute Décor adjustable metal stocking hangers have grippers that hold tight, are available in a variety of finishes and will also fit most mantels.
