For the second year, Ilkley Manor House is delighted to be part of Ilkley Live, with our historic courtyard once again becoming a welcoming venue for live music.

Join us as local performers bring music into the heart of the Manor House, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere in one of Ilkley’s most distinctive settings.

Alex Ashman will perform from 1pm. Alex is a second-year Philosophy student at Durham University and an indie-folk singer-songwriter, taking inspiration from observations of life and self-reflection to create catchy, evocative and uplifting songs.

Ilkley Moornotes will perform from 2pm. Based in Ilkley, this community choir sings a cappella in four-part harmony, with a broad repertoire spanning different genres. You can find out more about this wonderful choir here: Moornotes

Robert Brice will perform from 3pm, bringing solo acoustic covers of well-known pop and rock songs to the courtyard, with a set focused mainly on 1980s hits, alongside other favourites.  You can find out more about Robert’s music here: Robert Brice – YouTube Shorts
