Rehearsals for 2:22 A Ghost Story have begun. Buckle up Knaresborough, we're taking you places you've never been.

01/06/2026

It’s that time of the month again for us to give a glimpse into what you could be enjoying at The Frazer Theatre in June.

From Tuesday 9th to Friday 12th June, Harrogate Gilbert and Sullivan Society are excited to bring Iolanthe, one of their favourite shows, to Knaresborough for the second time.
Iolanthe is a sparkling comic opera where mischievous fairies collide with the pomp and privilege of Parliament. When a half‑fairy idealist challenges the House of Lords for love—and reform—magic turns politics upside down, sparking romance, satire, and irresistible laughter. Packed with wit, charm, and enchanting music, it’s Gilbert & Sullivan at their most playful and pointed.
There will be performances at 7.30pm each evening.
Tickets are £18 for adults and £5 for students / under 16s

On Friday 19th June 2026, The Rod Stewart Songbook are delighted to be returning to the Frazer Theatre, Knaresborough.
Their spectacular theatre production is the ultimate homage to Sir Rod Stewart, featuring the sensational Pete McCall.

Tickets are £20 plus £2 booking fee.
Doors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm.

On Thursday 25th June with the kind support of Buttercup Community Cafe, come and join Billy the Bard at the Frazer Theatre, with his unique style of music of Celtic rhythm and overtones.

He is a self taught guitarist and singer songwriter, poet and storyteller. He has worked extensively across Europe and the UK. Producer of two environmental CDs. Organising tours around Europe and founder of YME (Young Musicians Europe). Played Glastonbury Festival. He produced and presented his own radio show in Glasgow, 'Live and Local'. One of the original organisers of 'The Wicker Man festival' in Scotland. More recently he has played in Harrogate, Otley and surrounding area.

Sam: Smug, fiercely rational, and determined to prove his wife wrong.

Lauren Cynical, caught in the middle, and masking her own pain.

Ben: Grounded, defensive, with a strong belief in the supernatural.

Newcomers and current members are all welcome.

As always, we will be holding a read through of the play (which you can attend with no obligation to audition)at 7.30pm on Tuesday 26th May and auditions will be held at 7.30pm on Tuesday 2nd June, both at the Frazer Theatre.
