Diamond Jubilee Weekend
You are invited to come and celebrate 60 years of making music together at the HRGB Diamond Jubilee weekend, Friday 9th April 2027 until Sunday 11th April 2027 at the Double Tree by Hilton Majestic Hotel and Spa in Harrogate, which is being hosted by the Northern Bell Orchestra.
The Majestic Hotel is a beautiful, luxurious Victorian hotel surrounded by eight acres of grounds in the heart of Harrogate, on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales.
Harrogate is a premier destination with old world charm and plenty of activities for non-ringers to explore and enjoy, like the Valley Gardens, the Pump Rooms and Museum, elegant independent shops and Betty’s, the famous tea rooms.
Harrogate has a diverse selection of over two hundred accommodation options from The Majestic Hotel itself, to the Premier Inn next door, the Travel Lodge five minutes away and a wide variety of hotels and guest houses at various price points to suit your budget. For this reason, accommodation and breakfast are not included in the packages and ringers can select these separately according to their budget. A selection of hotels can be booked by following our link below to the central reservation system or you can research your own.
