Liberal Democrat Conference to come to Harrogate

The Liberal Democrats have revealed that the party’s 2025 Spring Conference will be held at the Harrogate Convention Centre. It will take place between the 21st and 23rd March.

The announcement comes just weeks after the general election saw Liberal Democrat Tom Gordon elected as the MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough, winning with 46% of the vote.

This is the first time that Liberal Democrat conference has been held in a Lib Dem seat since it was held in Harrogate in 2009, when Phil Willis was the MP for the area.

Tom Gordon MP said:

“I am absolutely thrilled that conference will be held here in Harrogate, and that I will be able to welcome my new Lib Dem MP colleagues to see first-hand how beautiful our part of Yorkshire is.

“I’m sure we’ll have a packed schedule but will make sure to find time to show off the best Harrogate has to offer.

“Harrogate Convention Centre is an important asset to Harrogate and the local economy. I’m excited to do all I can to keep it up and running for the town in my capacity as our local MP."
