Harrogate Theatre Upcoming Events

Harrogate is a haven for culture enthusiasts with three fantastic entertainment venues. The Camberley and Camberley Cottages are centrally located, opposite the Conference Centre and just a five-minute walk from the Royal Hall, with Harrogate Theatre only a ten-minute walk away.  We provide the perfect base for exploring the area and attending the myriad of concerts and events that draw visitors to the town. 
Harrogate Theatre, pairs Victorian architecture with an intimate ambiance. Established in 1900, it has a rich history and stages performances that range from timeless classics, drama, comedy, and musicals, ensuring there's a show to suit every taste. 
Highlights of the upcoming season at the theatre include Alan Ayckbourn’s Table Manners, which runs from 17 – 21 September.  This comedic masterpiece set in rural England, unfolds around a dining table. The play delves into the dysfunctional dynamics of a family gathering, exploring themes of love, jealousy, and human foibles with the sharp wit and biting humour typical of Ayckbourn's work. 
For those who prefer musical theatre, Grease runs from 23 – 26 October 2024 whilst Dire Straits fans are sure to love Dire Streets, a tribute band playing at the theatre on 30 October 2024.
The Royal Hall is one of Harrogate’s most stunning architectural gems.  Built in the 19th Century, it exudes grandeur and elegance.  It is renowned for its exquisite design and exceptional acoustics, making it a prestigious venue for concerts, orchestras, and events.
