Download engagements to your own calendars

The Harrogate Band engagements list is now available to download and add to your own diary. It is provided in .ICS format which is compatible with a wide range of calendar software.

The .ICS file can be downloaded once and used to manually update your calendar, or you can "subscribe" to the list where your calendar will periodically check the Harrogate Band website for any updated engagement details.

Download is a one-off import of the fixtures. If the fixtures change, you will need to download the calendar file again to update your data.

If you subscribe to the calendar feed, your calendar application will synchronise the engagements details automatically without the need for a manual update so you will always have the latest information.

See instructions below for downloading or subscribing to your relevant calendar
  • Download - Download the engagement list now (you may need to save the file on your computer before importing it to your calendar)

  • Subscribe - subscribe to the fixture list by adding the following URL to your preferred application: http://www.harrogateband.org/pub/HarrogateBand.ics
