He will be mourned and missed - The wonderful Phil Lowe.

Harrogate Theatre is devastated to share the news that Phil Lowe, "our friend, associate director, pantomime director and co-writer", passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 13.

Phil was an integral part of what makes Harrogate Theatre special, both to work at and visit.

Our pantomime has truly sparkled since he came to the helm in 2007. He is irreplaceable.

In his memory Cinderella will continue this Christmas. No one wanted to bring the party back to Harrogate Theatre more than him.

Phil Lowe was an integral part of what makes Harrogate Theatre special, both to work at and visit.

If you would like to make a donation in Phil’s memory we have set up a Just Giving page in aid of Harrogate Hospital and it’s Cardiac Care unit.

Our thoughts are with Phil’s wife, Caroline, their beloved boys, family and friends.
