It's back, and it's set to be bigger than ever.
The Spiegeltent will return to Harrogate this summer for 10 days of non-stop entertainment.
With its bohemian mirrored walls and red velvet booths, the Spiegeltent 2026 Festival will run from 25th June to 4th July in Crescent Gardens.
It will feature a vast programme of cabaret, jazz, rock, burlesque, dance and more.
Sharon Canavar, Chief Executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said:
“It’s fantastic to have the Spiegeltent back in town – there’s nothing quite like it.
“We passionately believe the arts are for every generation and should appeal to as wide an audience as possible – which is what this Festival does.
"So whether you fancy watching Hope & Social and discovering your new favourite band, learning all about Indian classical music, or reliving your youth at Jimmy’s – there really is something for everyone.
“The Spiegeltent is a joyful celebration of great music and culture. So get the dates in your diary for what is, quite simply, the best party in town!”
The festival is being held in association with Ogden of Harrogate, one of the country’s best known family jewellers.
The James Street business is run by Robert and Ben Ogden who have a long affiliation with Harrogate International Festivals over recent decades.
Ben Ogden said:
“The Spiegeltant is a stunning venue and this Festival brings joy and a touch of glamour to people’s lives, which makes it the perfect fit for us.
"Spiegeltents, like Ogden’s, have a rich and vibrant history, and we are looking forward to seeing the diverse array of dazzling performers who will light up Harrogate this summer.”
The Spiegeltent programme promises a vibrant mix of music, dance and cultural experiences, kicking off with high-energy performances from Hope & Social and the return of House of Burlesque, followed by their popular Silent Disco.
Audiences can also enjoy a change of pace with saxophonist Jess Gillam and her trio, alongside the immersive Grīṣhma: Indian Summer Soirée celebrating traditional Indian music and culture.
The line-up spans genres from jazz and Baroque to folk and classical Indian ragas, offering something for a wide range of tastes.
And the season concludes with Jimmy’s Night, a nostalgic 90s-themed finale set to bring the festival to a close.
