    Thousands of house music fans will flock to the Stray in Harrogate tomorrow for the Love to Be festival.

    It will be the Sheffield-based events company's third appearance in the town.

    Harrogate is the first stop of Love to Be's UK tour featuring some of the biggest DJs in house music, including TV personality-turned-DJ Gok Wan, Paul Woolford, Grammy-nominated Claptone, Sam Divine and Mousse T.

    Besides music, there will be dancers, stilt walkers and fire breathers.
