Win a trip to Harrogate Christmas & Gift
 

Harrogate Christmas & Gift Fair is the UK’s only dedicated event for Christmas and celebration products. It is the show where garden centres from all around the UK visit to select products for retail and Christmas displays for the year ahead (with one eye on The Greatest Christmas Awards!) 

Taking place at the Harrogate International Centre, 11-14 January 2015 in the beautiful, historic spa town of Harrogate, it’s the first event for the industry in the whole of Europe and a perfect way to help give your business a leading edge in the New Year. Garden Trade News in conjunction with the organisers are offering you an opportunity to win a VIP visit to this fabulous event. 

The prize includes: 

  • Two nights bed and breakfast at the luxury Majestic, Harrogate’s leading hotel. 
  • Dinner for two on Saturday evening (up to the value of £80) 
  • Two places at the prestigious Greatest Christmas Awards on Sunday evening, organised by Garden Trade News and supported by Christmas & Gift Harrogate 
  • A bottle of champagne 

There is also a runners-up prize of two tickets for GTN’s fabulous Greatest Christmas Awards Party, which is held at the Majestic on the first evening of the show. The prize includes a superb three-course meal and dancing to a great live band. 

As well as leading companies such as Premier Decorations, SnowTime, Festive Productions and Kaemingk displaying all their new lines, there will be a host of new companies all offering something new for the very first time. 

Harrogate Christmas and Gift Fair is one of the UK’s fastest growing trade show with visitor numbers increasing every year. 

“The influx of garden centre buyers has created a new dynamic which in turn has attracted new exhibitors with product ranges for the entire year,” says show organiser Simon Anslow. 

Harrogate Christmas and Gift Fair is the event to kickstart your new business year, combining business and pleasure. For the perfect way to kick-start the New Year, find out more by visiting www.harrogatefair.com

To enter the free prize draw simply answer the following question: 

When did flashing Christmas lights get introduced, the 1930s or 1950s? 

Email your answer to: mandy.atkin@tgcmc.co.uk 

Entries close Friday, January 2, 2015. The winner will be announced in GTN Xtra on Sunday 4th January 2015.

Good luck!
