The Harrogate Stray Bonfire is a charity event and all money raised will be going to the Harrogate Homeless Project.

Matthew Firth, part of the team responsible for planning this year’s event:

It is important that we help end homelessness on the streets of Harrogate.

Especially going into wintertime when the mercury regularly drops below freezing and these poor people, often through no fault of their own, end up on the streets.

Harrogate Stray Bonfire Night is made possible by the support of the generous public.
