Patrons Scheme

If you are interested in becoming a patron of the Wesley Centre Concerts, please ask for a leaflet.


Bringing such wonderful concerts to Harrogate is not without cost. Although almost entirely volunteer-run, artist and venue expenses are now approaching £16,000 annually. We do not receive grants. Ticket sales and donations only partly meet running costs, hence our Patrons Scheme. As a patron, you will be supporting great music-making in Harrogate by established and up-and-coming artists.  If you wish, your support can be acknowledged in the programme.
