Royal Hall Proms returns to Harrogate next month
A Last Night of the Proms charity concert at Harrogate's Royal Hall next month will pay tribute to the Queen and celebrate the new King.
The concert, which will feature the world famous Grimethorpe Colliery Band and acclaimed violinist Kate Chruscicka, will take place on October 7.
The event is being organised by the Harrogate fundraising team at end of life care charity Marie Curie following the success of the first proms in 2019, which raised more than £20,000.
The group is now hoping to recreate "the magic" of the event following a break as result of the pandemic.
Chair of the group, David Beswick, said:

Before his accession to the throne, King Charles was a patron of Marie Curie.
Mr Beswick added:
The event starts at 7pm and will feature classic Last Night of the Proms staples, such as Royal Britannia and Jerusalem.
Senior community fundraiser Gemma Hewitt said:
All money raised from the event will support Marie Curie, which provides nursing and hospice care for people with any terminal illness.
Tickets start from £20, and can be booked from the Royal Hall website, in person or on the phone on 01423 502116.
