Harrogate International Festivals

A charitable organisation, our passion, ambition and innovative eye maintains our position as an arts organisation delivering Festivals of national importance, as well as a key cultural provider for the North throughout the year.
As well as entertaining audiences, we bring internationally acclaimed artists to work with young people and communities all year-round. Our outreach and education work taps into the arts to change lives.
Schools, young people and our local community can enjoy the Festivals year-round through our extensive programme of educational workshops, talks, projects and inspiring activities through our HIF+ programmes.
As a charitable organisation, we are funded almost entirely by ticket sales, sponsorship and donations, with just 2% of our income coming from public funding.
Library of Live is for those aged 7-25 who want to discover new music, literature and arts. Membership is free and entitles you to free tickets for selected events across our year-round programme of festivals.
