Miriam Margolyes: Full English Live
Miriam Margolyes brings her Full English Live show to Harrogate Convention Centre on Sunday 11 October 2026 at 2pm, a talk-and-Q&A afternoon forming part of Harrogate Comedy Festival.
What the event is and who goes
Miriam Margolyes: Full English Live is a one-afternoon show in the Main Auditorium at Harrogate Convention Centre. The actress and author talks about her new book, Miriam's Full English, and takes questions from the audience. The Harrogate date is part of Harrogate Comedy Festival 2026, which Harrogate Theatre runs. It is a public ticketed show, so the audience is theatre-goers, readers of her memoirs and comedy fans, many of them travelling in for the day or the weekend.
Dates and opening times
The show takes place on Sunday 11 October 2026. The listed start time is 2:00pm and the running time is given as 110 minutes, so it should finish in the middle of the afternoon. The venue is on King's Road, Harrogate, HG1 5LA. The organiser lists a BSL interpreter for this performance.
For visitors
Harrogate Theatre's listing shows ticket prices from £37 to £73, and the cheapest band includes a copy of the book. Its age guidance says the show is suitable for under 14s, and that all under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Check the listing before you book if you are bringing younger family members. Tickets are sold through Harrogate Theatre's box office on 01423 502116. One ticket agent had marked this date as sold out when we last looked, so check availability with the box office before making plans around it.
Getting there
Harrogate station is about a 10-minute walk from the Convention Centre. LNER runs direct trains to London King's Cross roughly once an hour. Leeds is about 35 minutes away, and Leeds Bradford Airport is about 30 minutes by taxi. Our apartments and townhouses are in central Harrogate, and many are a short walk from both the Convention Centre and the Royal Hall. After a 2pm show you can easily be back at your apartment in a few minutes.
Booking early
This is a single performance, and the festival runs until 1 November, so central Harrogate is busy through October. If you want to stay the weekend or make a short break of it, it is worth booking your accommodation as soon as your tickets are confirmed. If you are reading this close to the date, get in touch with us directly and we will tell you what is free.
After the event
A matinee leaves the evening free. Harrogate has plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the Convention Centre, and an early dinner is easy to arrange on a Sunday. If you prefer a quieter evening, you can have a drink at one of the town's bars, or visit the Turkish Baths, though it is sensible to check opening hours and booking requirements first. Staying with us means you have your own kitchen and living space, which suits groups and families, and a short walk back at the end of the day.
