The Man Who Captured Sunlight, The Story of Soul, end-of-night anthems and side-splitting comedy
 For the first time, the remarkable story of one of Harrogate’s most meteoric figures is brought to dramatic life at the Royal Hall that he was instrumental in building. Written by Doctor Who writer Gavin Collinson, The Man Who Captured Sunlight on 23 September tells the story of Samson Fox, Mayor of Harrogate (1889 to 1892) and ancestor of Britain’s most famous acting dynasty. As an inventor, he helped spearhead the industrial revolution and famously ‘bottled the sun’ as Harrogate’s streets became the first thoroughfares in the world to be lit with his Fox Water-Gas. Or…. Let your hair down for a crazy night of non-stop singalong favourites at Don’t Stop Believin’ on 22 September. Or… follow Britain’s Got Talent’s Mel Day and a talented cast on a journey of sweet soul music in The Story of Soul on 25 September. Or… For those who love a good laugh, the hilarious Sarah Millican is back on tour with a Bobby Dazzler of a new stand-up show on 24 September.
