About Harrogate
Historically one of the best-known spa towns in the UK, Harrogate is a popular business location. Harrogate has a strong economy, with a variety of businesses renting office space in the town. The conference and exhibition industry is the town’s main business focus today – The Harrogate International Centre is one of the biggest fully-integrated conference and exhibition centre in the UK.
During the Georgian era, Harrogate was called ‘The English Spa’ when its spa waters were discovered in the 16th century. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the town’s ‘chalybeate’ waters were a popular health treatment which led to an influx of wealthy visitors and the building of many inns to accommodate guests.
Notable buildings in Harrogate include the Grade I listed St Wilfrid in Duchy Road, the Royal Hall Theatre and the Royal Pump Room, both of which are Grade II listed and the latter is now a museum about Harrogate’s spa history.
