A festive event is coming to Harrogate this December, featuring one of the country's leading impersonators of The Grinch.

He’s been described as “one of the most authentic tributes” to Jim Carey’s version of the Dr Seuss Character from the 2000 hit movie The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
Ryan said:
“I’m so excited to be bringing the character to this magnificent event.
“The Yorkshire Grinch has been inundated this year, the popularity of the character is incredible.
“I’m looking forward to entertaining you everybody at the Harrogate Showground this December, make sure you bring him an onion.”
