Theatres
Harrogate is home to a large civic theatre and a number of temporary performance spaces, and is also the location of one of the most successful youth theatre groups in the country.
The Harrogate Theatre was opened in 1900, and its resident repertory company established in the 1930s. The Grade II listed building on Oxford Street is now used to base a broad selection of large-scale touring performances, one-night entertainments and five of its own in-house productions every year. The in-house productions are also taken around the country and performed in medium-scale venues. The theatre comprises two auditoria: a Victorian auditorium with proscenium arch and seating for five hundred people, and a studio space with a capacity of seventy.
The theatre is very successful, with an average of 72% attendance, a recognised youth theatre and a new writers’ programme in development. Recently, films have been shown at the venue on Monday evenings. For current listings and prices, call the theatre on 01423 502 710.
Harrogate International Centre is an office complex, conferencing facility, hotel, exhibition hall and theatre, based in the town centre on Kings Road. The venue hosts a range of events and entertainment, including concerts, drama and festivals. The main auditorium seats more than two thousand people, and is available to hire for staging of private events.
The box office can be contacted on 0845 130 8840, and is open Monday to Saturday, from 9:30am until 5pm.
