Welcome to our updated 2010 website. Big plans are afoot to bring you an exciting programme of events for our 30th Anniversary year. Our full programme will be available to view and book online in spring. In the meantime, we’ll be taking bookings for our five big ‘Festival in the Field events from 7th December.

Tickets are on sale now for our five ‘Festival in the Field’ marquee events.

Tuesday 22nd June - Last Night of the Proms

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary, we have something special in store for the opening of the Festival in the Field on Tuesday 22nd. Expect thrills and fireworks during a ‘Last Night of the Proms’ style celebratory night of classical delights. We’ll be bringing you the 42-strong professional orchestra, Skipton Camerata, with tenor Mark LeBrocq and soprano Mary Nelson.

Wednesday 23rd June - The Manfreds with Special Guests Dave Berry and Maggie Bell

For those of you who enjoy the sounds of the 60s, The Manfreds will be coming to town with their full line up, including the wonderful Paul Jones. They’ll be treating us to classics like the Mighty Quinn and 5-4-3-2-1, as well as bringing some special guests along too. Don’t miss out, as it’s sure to be spectacular!

Thursday 24th June - Comedy Night – Ross Noble

Just Announced! The free-form comedy whirlwind that is Ross Noble will be filling the marquee with laughs by the barrel full. Ross’s rapid-fire Geordie wit and instinctive gift for surreal vivid imagery has won him such praise as ‘The supreme master of spontaneous stand-up and most exciting comic in the country’ from Time Out and ‘the most brilliant stand up of his generation’ from the Sunday Telegraph. A rare opportunity to see a true comic genius!

Friday 25th June - Rick Wakeman

Self-proclaimed ‘Grumpy Old Rock Star’ Rick Wakeman and will be bringing his ‘moogs’ to Grassington for what promises to be an evening of weird and wonderful keyboard-led rock. The former YES member is now equally famed for his story telling as his music, so this promises to be an enthralling and interesting night out!

Saturday 26th June - Last Night Party Featuring The Proclaimers

We’re delighted that chart-topping brothers The Proclaimers will bring the Festival in The Field Programme to a storming finale with uplifting hits like ‘King of the Road’, ‘500 Miles’ and ‘Letter from America’ plus stacks of new material. Our now traditional last night party will be one to remember this year!
