Live Music

Here at The Harrogate Food & Drink Festival, we recognise the abundance of musical talent which deserves greater attention.

Each year we bring together local break-through artists on our main stage, and provide you with deckchairs and large viewing areas to enjoy incredible music all day long!

Live music all afternoon from a range of local performers
