Events for our September Celebration and beyond
Not everyone can paint, write, or play music, but we can all share in the joy of watching and listening. That’s why our events listing is so close to our hearts.
The Creative Harborough network hosts everything from lively tango parties to gentle classical concerts for babies; fascinating talks on rare first editions to toe-tapping blues nights; and free gigs from our local record label to big-screen Hollywood blockbusters.
Whatever your interest, we’re confident you’ll find something here to delight and inspire you.
