Plans submitted to convert Harrogate music studio into magic show venue
A planning application has been submitted to convert a former Harrogate music studio into an immersive magic show venue.
Magician Neil Bradley-Smith applied for a change of use of the Blue Sky Music Studio, on Mayfield Grove, which was previously occupied by a piano teacher.
Mr Bradley-Smith has proposed to turn the site into a “speakeasy-style” entertainment venue to perform live shows.
These would be ticketed events.
He told the Stray Ferret he provisionally took the lease on in August, but said he’d only commit to the property providing his planning application is successful.
He added:
The application, which was submitted to North Yorkshire Council in September, outlines the change of use from retail to sui generis, which means the use of the venue does not fall into a particular category due to it being unusual.
Mr Bradley-Smith said he was inspired by a friend who runs a similar venue in Durham, adding:
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
