70 years young and still going strong

It’s that time of year again, the heating (for the less hardy) has been switched on; it’s dark earlier and earlier in the evening; and irresistible bright coloured tubs of chocolates are loaded onto supermarket shelves – yes, it is less than 70 days until CHRISTMAS!

70th AnniversaryIt is also less than three months until the UK’s favourite festive trade show ­– Harrogate Christmas & Gift – and celebrations will be high as the 2020 event marks 70 years!

In 1949 manufacturers of toys, gifts and Christmas novelties gathered in the hotels of Harrogate for the first time to share their new wares with the industry. In the days before internet and limited TV and telephone access – Harrogate Christmas & Gift would have been imperative to every shop owner in the country. Can you imagine the excitement of children when they discovered their village stores packed with unimaginable, never seen before goodies?

In these days of instant gratification, much of the incredulity of Christmas has gone astray, but retailers can still ensure they extend customers the very latest that the industry has to offer by attending this ever-evolving, fast-growing event.

Harrogate Christmas & Gift is the number one trade show for any retailer which endorses celebrations and we Brits certainly enjoy a bit of merriment – whether it be Christmas, Easter, Hanukka, EID, Mother and Father’s Day, Halloween, birthdays… the list goes on. It appears that there is always a good reason to buy a gift and have a party.

Visitors to the show this year can expect to see everything from Christmas trees and decorations; candles and lighting, food and beverages, gifts for absolutely every occasion, cards and pet accessories, garden and homeware – the list goes on. If you are in retail – whether that be a department store, independent shop, garden centre, tourist attraction gift shop – or even an event planner seeking inspiring decorations; Harrogate Christmas & Gift is a not-to-be-missed event.

It’s free to attend – register online at www.harrogatefair.com
