Gilbert and Sullivan Festival comes to Harrogate!

In 2011 it was the 11th Anniversary of the Buxton Gilbert and Sullivan which was a crowning success with the long awaited performance of Utopia. However it seemed the team were not content to rest on their laurels and decided to figure out a way to top the events of 2011. This being so they have arranged for the festival to carry on another 2 weeks in a different location so between the 19th and 27th of August the festival will be held in Harrogate. The festival is coming to 3 venues in Harrogate - The Royal Hall which has just undergone a 10 million refurb and is a Matcham theatre, the Harrogate Theatre which was originally build as an opera house so is going back to its roots and last but not least the auditorium of the Harrogate International Centre which holds 2000 and was build to house the Eurovision song contest. There are also plans to hold an intensive music course in Harrogate for 3 days for singers and instrumentalists with the course being led by an internationally recognised faculty.

www.camberleyguestaccommodation.com is only a 8meter walk from the Harrogate International Centre, a 5 minute walk from the Royal Hall and about 8 minutes walk from the Harrogate theatre so makes a perfect central base for all the festival events.
