The full lineup of musical talent has been revealed ahead of the sixth annual Harrogate Food and Drink Festival.
The event is due to return to Ripley Castle from 23rd until 25th August.
And festival-goers can expect an eclectic mix of genres performed by community groups, duos, bands, acoustic acts, and two renowned tributes.
There will also be rows of independent vendors and local businesses serving a variety of global flavours, sweet treats, and specialty beverages.
Visitors can expect a full ale house, serving cask favourites on draught alongside bustling Artisan Markets, showcasing a selection of Yorkshire’s leading entrepreneurs.
