The Test Match Special show is coming to Harrogate next year just weeks before the Ashes.

Harrogate's Royal Hall is one of 17 venues in the country selected for the cricket-themed show.

It will see Voice of Cricket Jonathan ‘Aggers’ Agnew joined by Aussie bowling legend Glenn McGrath and other special guests to relive Ashes anecdotes and discuss the forthcoming series.

The Harrogate event will take place on April 22, about two months before the 73rd Ashes series gets underway.

Since its inception in 1957, TMS has followed thousands of matches through iconic voices that include John Arlott, Brian Johnston, Aggers and Sir Geoffrey Boycott.

TMS’ debut live theatre tour took place this year. Guests included the likes of Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes, Steven Finn, Ebony Rainford-Brent and TMS super-fan Stephen Fry.

Agnew said:

“We had such a fantastic time on our debut tour that the TMS team has decided to do it all again – and this time with an Ashes twist!
“The shows will be the perfect appetiser ahead of a fascinating Ashes summer.”


McGrath said:

“Next summer is shaping up to be another intriguing series and I am really looking forward to touring the UK with Aggers to talk all things Ashes, share some of my experiences and look ahead to the summer’s Test action.”


Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday September 9 here.
