Back by popular demand - Harrogate on Film! 27th March 2023, 19:30
We're heading back to Harrogate for a repeat of our sell-out 'Harrogate on Film' screenings, giving you another opportunity to catch this unforgettable programme featuring the people, places, major events, and everyday life in this historic town and neighbouring Knaresborough during the 20th century.
Commissioned by the Harrogate Civic Society and Harrogate Film Society, this mix of amateur, professional, and television collections will open a window onto the film heritage of the towns over the decades, and even includes rare footage of the opening of the Odeon Cinema, our venue for the event.
Learn more about the film history of the area, including unseen cine club productions and news footage of the filming of ‘Agatha’, starring Dustin Hoffman, in the late 1970s.
The 90-minute programme will reflect Harrogate and Knaresborough as timeless tourist destinations; the draw of the Spa in its 1930s glory, the madness of the 1970s bed race, the bustling conference centre, and the chance to enjoy a cup of tea (or coffee) in floral surroundings.
The afternoon screening has already sold out and demand for evening tickets is high, so don't delay - head over to the Harrogate Film Society website and get yours now!
