Fresh seafood, live music, community spirit and charity fundraising are all on the menu this June as The Ticket Office launches Ilkley’s very first Seafood Festival.
Running throughout the month, the festival will transform the iconic Ilkley venue into a celebration of fresh seafood, summer drinks and social dining, with live DJs, live local musicians and specially curated summer cocktails.
Matt Broadley, The Ticket Office General Manager said:
“No one is doing this in the community right now. We’re sourcing the best seafood and creating something social where people can come together, enjoy great food and spend time with friends and family. We can’t wait for people to come down to try it throughout June.”
The festival is also supporting an important local cause, with 50p from every Summer Spritz cocktail sold being donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. The fundraising effort ties into Ilkley’s very first Breakfast Rave, taking place at The Ticket Office on Friday 5th June from 7:30am, raising money to support Shaunna Burke’s Everest Challenge, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Ticket Office Owner Adam Lewis said:
“Ilkley people really know how to come together, that’s why we’re supporting a great cause and working with our business neighbours, La Stazione, and Rave organisers to make this Morning Rave happen. Please come down and support, who knows it could be a regular thing.”
The Breakfast Rave will feature live DJs, percussion, glow sticks, breakfast food and coffee, giving Ilkley a high-energy start to the day before Beyond the Baseline and Lexus Ilkley Tennis Tournament begin over the weekend.
Colin from La Stazione said:
“We’re super excited to support the event — and we’ll be bringing coffees over to the Ticket Office completely free of charge. Save your money for the charity!”
Matt added:
“We’re the venue for the morning… and if a bacon sandwich is your thing, we’ve got that covered too.”
Mark, one of the Breakfast Rave organisers, said:
“I can promise you classic tunes, live percussion, glow sticks, and some absolute bangers to start your day properly. We’ve even got the same DJs who’ll be opening the Beyond the Bassline Festival at the tennis club later that day. So, grab your dancing shoes, save your money for the charity… and we’ll see you at the Ticket Office, Friday 5th June, 7:30am sharp!”
