Harrogate’s North Pole Post Office is back in time for children to post letters to Father Christmas

Harrogate’s North Pole Post Office is open: Clemence Roux from Harrogate International Festivals, Harrogate BID Manager Matthew Chapman, The Mayor of Harrogate Coun Victoria Oldham, and Harrogate International Festivals Chief Executive Sharon Canavar.

Harrogate’s North Pole Post Office is back in business in time for children to post letters to Father Christmas.

The popular festive attraction is once again located at Harrogate International Festivals’ office, on Cheltenham Parade, and will remain open until Christmas Eve.

Funded by Harrogate BID and produced and delivered by Harrogate International Festivals, The North Pole Post Office features snow flurries, Christmas music, and the all-important post box.

The Christmas attraction began in 2020 during lockdown as a way of lifting spirits of children and adults but its success led to it to become an annual fixture.

In fact, the popularity of the North Pole Post Office has been so overwhelming that the ‘elfs’ who sort through the letters are not able to reply individually.

Instead, visitors can download a special letter and message from Father Christmas, via the HIF website, or by scanning the QR code next to the post box.

Harrogate BID chair Sara Ferguson said: "Harrogate BID could not be happier to support the North Pole Post Office again in 2022.
