Ilkley BID is proud to announce that our very own BID manager, Sarah Brookfield-Almond, was featured in the Telegraph article highlighting Ilkley as a charming alternative to Harrogate. Published on July 29th, the article originally titled “Ilkley: The Overlooked Spa Town That’s a Delightful Alternative to Harrogate” (then changed to: Harrogate’s ‘deadly rival’ is giving it a run for its money ) paints a glowing picture of our town, showcasing its unique character and must-visit attractions.
The Telegraph’s glowing endorsement describes Ilkley as “a splendid place with a character of its own, that stands tall on its own two feet.” The article goes on to showcase a variety of local businesses, highlighting the diverse offerings that Ilkley has to offer visitors. This exposure is a testament to Ilkley BID’s ongoing commitment to promoting our town as a vibrant and welcoming destination.
