Holmes Chapel’s new village tour has expanded into London next month for an exclusive partnership with the UK’s biggest Harry Styles celebration – HarryFest 2024.
Holmes Chapel Partnership has partnered with HarryFest 2024 to deliver what is billed as the ultimate Harry Styles experience – an extended weekend of celebration, including tickets to the village tour, which takes in all the parts of the village associated with the pop star.
The combo ticket will enable fans to enjoy a tour of Holmes Chapel before or after they attend HarryFest in London. Harry’s Home Village Tour will also be showcased at HarryFest on 7th September with exclusive merchandise from the tour on sale at the event.
“With media coverage of Harry’s Home Village Tour reaching over 1.8 billion people worldwide, Holmes Chapel has truly become a hotspot for Harry fans this year,” said Peter Whiers, chair of Holmes Chapel Partnership, which runs Harry’s Home Village Tour.
“Participating in HarryFest 2024 highlights the significance of our tour to the fan community and the value they derive from visiting the village and spending time with our expert team.
“Hosted simultaneously in London and LA on 7th September HarryFest is the largest annual celebration of Harry Styles and we are thrilled to be part of it. Combo tickets for HarryFest and Harry’s Home Village Tour are limited, so we urge fans to act quickly to avoid disappointment.”
Organised by voluntary group Holmes Chapel Partnership, Harry’s Home Village Tours is a pilgrimage experience that takes fans on a country walk through the picturesque landscapes of Holmes Chapel, where Mr Styles spent his formative years.
From Mandeville’s bakery where he worked to the local haunts that inspired his music, the tour offers an intimate glimpse into the world of the global icon.
Combo tickets for HarryFest 2024 and Harry’s Home Village Tour are priced at £46.50.
Tickets include a Harry’s Home Village Tour of Holmes Chapel (valid 6th or 9th September); a free Harry Styles themed welcome gift; exclusive fan-made merch access; a Harry-oke session (singing to Mr Styles’ tunes); a performance by Harry Styles tribute; an immersive experience following Mr Styles’ journey from “X Factor” to the “Love On” Tour, known to fans as HSLT; Harry Styles-themed food and drinks; a chance to win exclusive Harry Styles gifts; event exclusive fan merch; prizes for Harry-oke and best dressed, and an interactive scavenger hunt.
Mr Styles was born in 1994 in and when he was a child, he moved with his parents and older sister Gemma to Holmes Chapel. He attended the Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School, where he was the lead singer for the band White Eskimo, which won a local Battle of the Bands competition. Aged of 16, he worked part-time at the W Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel, did a paper round and worked at a stable mucking out horses.
Following a suggestion from his mother, in 2010, he auditioned as a solo contestant for the seventh series of “X Factor“. He advanced to bootcamp but failed to progress further. Four others in his age group who were also eliminated were put together to form a band in July 2010 to compete in the “groups” category, mentored by Simon Cowell. The group consisted of Mr Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. Mr Styles suggested the name One Direction to his bandmates, to which they agreed.
