Raworths to kick start exciting new season as Salon North sponsors

Raworths is delighted to become the new title sponsors of the hugely popular Salon North series, produced by Harrogate International Festivals.

Raworths allows the Salon North series to enter an exciting new chapter with a fresh season of big ideas and inspiring speakers, starting on 7 May.

Simon Morris, managing partner at Raworths, said: “We are delighted to become the new Salon North sponsors and grow our long and successful partnership with Harrogate International Festivals. The Salon North series has a loyal following and become a hugely popular fixture in Harrogate’s cultural calendar with their thought-provoking and entertaining talks exploring issues and subjects that shape our lives. As the Festivals celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, I can’t think of a better way of demonstrating our commitment to arts and culture in Harrogate than by supporting these truly unique evenings.”

Sharon Canavar, chief executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Raworths has become the new title sponsors of what is now Raworths Salon North. They already support Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival so to extend their commitment even further is testament to their belief in us and the programmes we deliver for the town.”

Established in Harrogate by the Festivals in 2013 and voted number six in the ‘Top 100 Things to do in the World’ by GQ magazine, these unique cabaret-style evenings bring together three guest speakers for an evening of entertainment.
