Free Entry: Please Donate £5
There is no entry fee, but visitors are encouraged to donate £5, or whatever they can afford, to help cover event costs and raise money for Mind and Samaritans.
Harrogate Round Table has organised the charity fireworks for more than 50 years. Volunteers give their time to plan, set up, run and clear away the event, while essential costs—including fireworks, traffic management, first aid, equipment and licensing—total around £15,000.
The display is organised by Harrogate Round Table and relies on public donations. Once event costs are covered, the surplus supports the chosen charities.
Getting There
The display takes place on Harrogate Stray alongside Oatlands Drive, near St Aidan’s School. There is no parking in the immediate vicinity, so visitors are encouraged to arrive on foot.
Enjoy a memorable evening on the Stray and help support two charities providing vital mental health and emotional support.
