The Spiegeltent is set to return to Harrogate this summer after a two year break.

Harrogate International Festivals has announced the event will be held in Crescent Gardens between June 28 - July 7.

Drag queen Divina De Campo, who appeared on The Voice and the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, opens the Spiegeltent with an evening of cabaret.

The Gypsy Queens and House of Burlesque will also join this year’s line-up. Also making a return is British jazz singer Jo Harrop and Harrogate’s nightclub, Jimmy’s. There are newcomers to the festival including Punjabi Roots, as well as singer Mica Sefia, and the Maxwell Quartet.

The Spiegeltent is one of the star attractions of this year’s Harrogate Music Festival, which begins June 8.

Sharon Canavar, chief executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said:

“The Spiegeltent was one of the absolute highlights of Harrogate Music Festival in 2022, so it’s wonderful to have it back – there’s just nothing quite like it.

"We passionately believe that art and culture is for us all and should reach as wide an audience as possible – and that’s what this does. Whether you want to dance the night away at the Silent Disco, be entranced by the sound of South Asian drums, or spend the day making new family memories – there really is something for everyone here.

"The Spiegeltent helps make the Festival a truly memorable celebration of music and the arts. So get the dates in your diary for what is, quite simply, the best party in town.”
