As well as a thrilling line-up of acclaimed musicians and performers, the Spiegeltent is playing host to an array of special daytime community events aimed at boosting wellbeing and bringing people together.
The lavish venue is hosting a relaxing hour of Sound Bath healing run by Chantelle from Enhance U (June 30, tickets £5), and staying with the wellbeing theme, Alissa from Move Harrogate is running a morning yoga session (Monday July 1, tickets £12), suitable for all levels, to help people get ready for the day ahead.
Music fans are in for a treat too, with a free, bring your own vinyl session (June 29) hosted by Harrogate’s Ry Kenny, where you can bring your own records for the DJ to play. This is a chance to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon listening to some great tunes and chilling out in at the same time.
Well-known Harrogate musician Josh Ozturk will perform a free acoustic set in the Spiegeltent (July 4) with a little bit of live music that is sure to get people tapping their feet.
And if you fancy something a little different then how about a late night glow in the dark gig with an illuminated harp? Combining music, art and technology, Helena Ricci brings Anima to the Spiegeltent (July 1, tickets £15) featuring haze machines, LED lighting, and audience phone lights, to create a truly intimate and multisensory experience.
On top of all this, the Spiegeltent will be hosting the Children’s Festival (July 6 & 7). This weekend-long extravaganza includes everything from science and storytelling to drumming and dancing, with all kinds of exciting activities designed to spark joy and fire children’s imaginations.
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said: “During the day the Spiegeltent is all about the good life with a host of wellbeing and community-based events. Come on down and you’ll find many ways to experience this unique space in the heart of Harrogate, aside from our stellar line-up of evening headliners.”
