North Yorkshire Council have announced that 2024 saw record ticket sales at the Open Air Theatre.
As in 2023 there were 18 concerts held, attended by more than 116,000 people, up from the 104,000 the year previously.
According to The Council the value of the Open Air Theatre to the local economy was “in excess” of £8.5m not including the cost of ticket sales or spending inside the venue.
The theatre closed in 1986, coming back to life in 2010 after an investment of £3.5m by the previous council.
The 2025 season is shaping up well with nine acts already announced, the latest being Gary Barlow, bound to be a sell-out.
