The newsletter contains information on what's on for the last week of the Festival:
Dear And just like that, our 60th anniversary HACS Harrogate Music Festival enters its final week. But if you've not yet managed to catch anything, fear not. We're going out with a bang, and this final week includes some real treats, from much-loved favourites Oddsocks with Romeo and Juliet, performed in the glorious grounds of RHS Harlow Carr, to our show-stopping finale from the BBC Philharmonic. And if you've not yet experienced the sheer joy that is the Spiegeltent, there are still lots of opportunities to jazz it up - and/or dance your socks off. |
Oddsocks: Romeo & Juliet 30 June & 1 July Get ready for a summer night of big laughs, bold characters, and brilliantly bonkers Shakespeare as Oddsocks return to Harrogate with their gloriously anarchic take on Romeo & Juliet set in the beautiful gardens of RHS Harlow Carr. Whether you’re a Shakespeare devotee or just fancy something joyful, surprising, and a little bit wild, this open‑air performance is the perfect way to spend a summer evening. |
