Harrogate International Festivals

Harrogate International Festivals is the flagship arts Festival for the North of England. A charitable organisation, our passion and ambition maintains our position as an arts organisation delivering Festivals of national importance and dramatically increasing the cultural opportunities for Harrogate and the wider region.

The Festival team is made up of 3 full-time staff and 1 part-time staff member and support from a number of freelance, interns and volunteers during the Festival delivery season. This small but perfectly-formed team, support one another to ensure the delivery of wide ranging programmes of the highest quality.

No two days are the same from working with our Musical Mums (and their babies!) to dealing with national sponsors, publishing houses and artists. Working in a fast-paced festivals charity can be challenging at times, but the varied day to day role is something that we celebrate and support within the team.

Please note that the HIF office is closed due to the current pandemic. As such the team are currently flexibly furloughed and working sporadically in the run up to Christmas.
