What's On in Harrogate

No matter what time of year you visit there will always be a long and varied answer to the question, “What’s on around Harrogate?”

Long established or newly founded

Some of the events that take place through the year have a long history dating back hundreds of years, while other newly created events celebrate hobbies or passion with a likeminded audience.

Harrogate International Festivals organise an eclectic calendar of music, literary and visual events throughout the year.

Heart of local tradition

Events that are part of the local heritage can give the best window into what makes a community tick, from agricultural shows to whacky events that bring the whole town out.

Your passions and interests

The events that take place across the area cater to every interest imaginable, whether your passion is gardening, food and drink, comedy, culture, live music, or history – you can be sure there will be something taking place that will be right up your street.
