Harrogate Theatre Choir’s latest production celebrates Valentine in four acts. Musical Director Catherine Field-Leather said: In LOVE STORIES, Harrogate Theatre Choir present some of the very finest songs to emerge from the last one hundred years of Hollywood, Broadway and the West End. Musical Theatre has continually celebrated all aspects of love (see what happened there…?) From Eros, the passion of first love and romance to the angst of one-sided love, and the dilemma of feelings which are simply not reciprocated. What musical would be complete without the pathos and reflection of a love that fades or is lost?

Nigel Farage hosted a press conference on 10 November 2025, launching Reform UK’s plans around small business. Many of the questions were directed to him on the question of the BBC, the editing of a speech made by Donald Trump on 6 January 2021, the day of the Capitol riot. Nigel Farage claimed that what the BBC did was election interference and that they have been institutionally biased for decades. The comments come from the publication by the Telegraph Newspaper of leaked internal memos, the BBC Director General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Harness stepping down. Echoing what

Following the Government’s £5.2 million announcement for winter homelessness support in Yorkshire & Humber, Liberal Democrat MP Tom Gordon has called on ministers to do much more to deliver real, long-term solutions to end homelessness – not just short-term fixes. With record numbers of households now living in temporary accommodation across England, including nearly 170,000 children, this latest Government announcement falls far short of addressing the scale of the housing crisis which many councils are struggling to manage against a backdrop of budget cuts and spiralling costs of supporting families in need of temporary accommodation. Official figures show that local

A North Yorkshire midwife who works at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust is lacing up her trainers and running for a slightly unusual cause this autumn – the welfare of ex-commercial hens. Rachel Clark, who lives in the village of Scruton near Northallerton, will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London this October 12 in support of the British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT), a national charity that rehomes thousands of hens every year from egg farms into loving back gardens.
