Welcome

We are delighted to invite you to join us in Harrogate from the 23rd to the 26th May 2024 to celebrate Sing2024 and BABS’ momentous 50th anniversary year!

This year we are excited to bring you an even more fantastic fun filled schedule for the weekend.

There will be three full days of contests representing the very best in British Barbershop singing and shows featuring UK champs and our special international guests. Once again we will be hosting educational, informative and irreverent fringe sessions within our BABS Hub and of course our wildly popular BABS Open Mic Night will be returning. There will also be many special 50th anniversary activities including an exhibition of the last 50 years of society history and more!

Remember to keep an eye on our website www.singbarbershop.com and the singbarbershop app for up-to-date information about Sing2024 and all things BABS. Keep checking regularly as the event draws closer as we will be announcing new things all the time.

I look forward to welcoming you to Harrogate in May!

Yours in harmony

BABS Acting Chair

Helpful Information

Tickets can be purchased by scrolling down to the ticket section. You can add multiple ticket types to your basket before checking out.

A full weekend ticket affords access to the convention centre, all contests, shows, fringe events as well as a limited edition Sing2024 pin.

Prices: Earlybird prices are being offered up to the 26th April 2024. After this date the prices will increase both on Snappy Tickets and at the venue, so make sure you purchase your tickets before the EarlyBird expires.

Individual day tickets afford access to the convention centre, the contest activities and fringe events on your day of choice but NOT the shows. Show tickets have to be purchased as part of a full weekend registration or in addition to your day ticket.

Audience Session wristbands are returning as well, these are designed for family, friends and guests of performers who might not want to stay for the whole competition. A wristband grants access to one block of any contest (approx. 2 hours) and is not valid for any other contest activities. Audience Session tickets can only be purchased on-the-door. Bulk orders of audience session tickets (7 or more) can be reserved by contacting derek.parmenter@singbarbershop.com

NOTE: Audience session tickets are not valid for competitors.

Competitors must each purchase a Full Weekend or Day Ticket for the day they are attending, along with a Contest Season Pass (see below). Competitor tickets must be purchased by 1st March 2024.

Parent/Guardian with Under 5 ticket gives access to Barbertots room as young children are not allowed in the auditorium while contests are taking place.

Each ticket type asks for slightly different information so read them carefully.
