This was the Ilkley BID’s first Christmas campaign ‘It’s An Ilkley Christmas’ and we were very pleased with the response from both the public and local businesses and intend to build on this for Christmas 2020.
The family friendly Elf Trail was part of the campaign, aiming to encourage more people to visit and shop in Ilkley over the festive season. There were more than 60 families taking part in the hunt to find 50 hidden elves around the town with one lucky participant winning a stunning necklace from Nicholson’s Jewellers in the trail’s prize draw competition.
If you have any ideas for next Christmas, we are already looking towards planning for December 2020 and would like to hear your suggestions in particular we would like to know how many of the retailers would support a late-night shopping event?
