Within this rounded redbrick building lie Harrogate’s great range of theatrical delights, from fun children’s shows to upscale operatic performances.

Harrogate Theatre has an eclectic program that includes dance, music, comedy and plays. The theater makes use of its own auditorium as well as the majestic Royal Hall to produce shows for all the family. Enjoy the lively atmosphere at the festivals held in this lively complex.

Enter the theater’s redbrick building via the globular façade that leads onto the main street. Choose from the vibrant program of shows that range from dramatic monologues and plays, to musical recitals and operatic performances. Bring your little ones to a Saturday matinee show, when cartoon characters and pantomime villains often perform.

Go to see a stand-up comedian to light up your evening. Some of Britain’s best comic performers take to the stage for the Harrogate Comedy Festival that runs in October. Support the arts by attending a musical or play by an amateur theater society.

Purchase tickets for a seat in a box to watch a show in style and comfort. The theater makes use of the gold-leaf Royal Hall that dates back more than a century. Watch a play in the intimate confines of the 60-seater Studio Theatre and admire the Victorian architecture of Harrogate Theatre, which was built in 1900.

Enjoy drinks before the show at one of the international bars and traditional pubs lining Oxford Street where the theater is located.

Buy tickets at the Harrogate Box Office in the theater. It opens Monday through Saturday from morning until late afternoon and for an hour before each performance.
