The much-loved Spiegeltent has returned to Harrogate with a packed programme of live music, comedy, dance and entertainment for the summer.
The Spiegeltent Festival 2026, in association with Ogden of Harrogate, runs from today (June 25th) until July 4th in Crescent Gardens.
This year's programme has been curated by award-winning saxophonist and composer Camilla George, with a diverse line-up featuring jazz, rock, burlesque, ceilidh, Indian classical music and more.
Leeds favourites Hope & Social, often described as "Yorkshire's own E-Street Band", will kick off the festival with their trademark high-energy performance.
Other highlights include the return of crowd favourites House of Burlesque, the ever-popular Silent Disco and Jimmy's Night, alongside a rip-roaring ceilidh from Cut A Shine and a performance from rising jazz star Lucy-Anne Daniels.
Audiences can also enjoy Grīṣhma: Indian Summer Soirée, featuring acclaimed sitar duo Ayan Sengupta and Srijanee Banerjee, accompanied by tabla player Ustad Shahbaz Hussain.
Long-standing Harrogate jeweller Ogden of Harrogate has returned as the festival's headline sponsor.
The James Street business, now run by Ben Ogden, has supported Harrogate International Festivals for many years. Founded in 1893 by James Ogden, the family business has attracted distinguished customers over the years including Winston Churchill, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Madonna.
Ben Ogden said:
"We are proud of our association with the Spiegeltent Festival – it's a real gem that brings together so many talented and diverse performers to Harrogate.
We're looking forward to seeing some of the dazzling array of artists on stage and helping the Festivals celebrate its 60th anniversary this summer."
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive of Harrogate International Festivals, added:
"It's fantastic to see the much-loved Spiegeltent back in town and we're thrilled that Ogden of Harrogate is back as the sponsor, it feels like the perfect fit.
As an arts charity, we rely on support from fantastic businesses like Ogden's – without it we simply wouldn't be able to bring great events like this to our town."
