BOOK NOW

Our summer season is packed with a brilliant programme of events !

We have a fantastic comedy line up including John Bishop, Ed Gamble, Punt and Dennis and Sarah Millican.

Drama will see Godber back with Happy Jack. As an alternative drama recommendation there is ROTTEN, which explores themes that are poignant to the lives of young people, the cost of living, capitalism, mental health and social media. It shines a light on the economic and social crisis that is happening in Britain today, with sharp observation and biting wit. The play builds on certain devices you’ve seen before in classic thrillers, before twisting and turning them in directions you won’t see coming.

As ever we have a tribute feel good musical offer that celebrates some of the legendary and greats of the industry including Joni Mitchell, Roy Orbison, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Marley, Fleetwood Mac and Thin Lizzy to name but a few.

There’s always an alternative to explore at Harrogate Theatre, so how about La Voix direct from the West End. Their Red Ambition Tour promises an evening like no other, with huge vocals, a live band and side-splitting comedy.

Thank you once again for all your support. I hope to see you at Harrogate Theatre very soon.
