Dame Fanny Waterman DBE President of Harrogate International Festivals
Harrogate International Festivals has grown into one of the region’s leading cultural providers, attracting the best international, national and local artists to perform every year. The Festival team works year round to bring the finest performing arts, literature and education participation to Harrogate and Yorkshire. We could not do this without the invaluable contribution made by the Festival Friends.
