Great theatre can happen anywhere and we are delighted to programme shows into non-traditional venues to bring live performances into other accessible, unique venues in the region.
We offer Box Office services for other companies, such as Ripon International Festival, with a programme of largely classical music and performances that reach out into Ripon and the surrounding area. Like us, they use a wide variety of venues from the Royal Hall to churches and village halls.
We use the venues listed below most frequently.

The Grounds are 250 acres of bookable space located at the home of the iconic Great Yorkshire Show on the outskirts of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. With capacity for thousands of visitors on the showground.

We often use any of the many and varied hotels in Harrogate such as The Old Swan, Cedar Court (where we used a tipi for comedy), The Crown and the Yorkshire Hotel.
