Yorkshire Event Centre report a strong year

11 February 2013

The Yorkshire Event Centre and Pavilions of Harrogate, on the Great Yorkshire Showground, have reported that they grew their business substantially in 2012.

New events included hosting a scout camp for over 4,500 scouts and in June the venue had a major “first” when the rock star, Elton John, entertained an audience of over 11,000 in the main ring – a great time was had by all, despite the Great British weather.

The wide variety of events held at the Yorkshire Event Centre continued throughout the year with over 5,000 Citroen enthusiasts from all over the world, some driving rare and classic Citroen cars, coming to site for a weekend in August and then in November the Harrogate Boxing Club held its first competition evening in Hall 2.

Many regular events returned in 2012, with the North of England Woodworking and Power Tool Show enjoying its biggest show ever, with more exhibitors, visitors and attractions than ever before.
