New showcase devoted to Harrogate's longest standing radio broadcaster is to be launched
The award-winning Harrogate Hospital Radio is to unveil an “exciting new chapter” at a special open evening next month.
Members of the public, local groups and businesses will get the chance to learn about the station’s improved facilities at the Harrogate Hospital Radio Supporters Showcase.
Taking place on Monday, February 2 at 4pm at The West Park Hotel in Harrogate, the evening will showcase Harrogate Hospital Radio’s upgraded technology, refreshed branding, and the important role sponsors play in enhancing the experience of patients, staff, and visitors at Harrogate District Hospital.
Founded in 1977, Harrogate Hospital Radio is the town’s longest-established radio broadcaster and is widely regarded as one of the best of its kind in the UK.
Its most recent awards success came in the National Hospital Radio Awards 2025 when Ellie Jackson was nominated for Best Specialist Music Show, Ray Milligan for Best Station Promotion and Shelbi Belfitt for Best Newcomer.
In addition to being listened to via the Harrogate Hospital Radio app and website, the charity radio station can be heard on radios within a two-kilometre radius of Harrogate District Hospital after its successful bid for a FM frequency (95.3FM) in 2021.
Volunteer-led and reliant on fundraising and donations, Harrogate Hospital Radio has more than 50 members in different roles.
The forthcoming event represents a fantastic opportunity to meet the team, connect with other local businesses, and learn how you could get involved in supporting a valued community service, including sponsorship packages and opportunities..
