Castle Calling (14 Aug 2009)
Richmond Castle will host an event with a very modern twist on Tuesday, August 18, as young people take over for a night of live music.
Tickets are now on sale for ‘Castle Calling’, a live music event for young people, headlined by indie-rock band The Holloways. The event, supported by 4 Youth and Gigs in Richmond, has been planned and arranged by members of Richmondshire District Youth Council in response to calls from young people across the District asking for something to do and somewhere to go.
Tickets cost £3 and can be purchased from Richmond Tourist Information Centre (TIC) at Friary Gardens in Richmond. Supporting The Holloways will be The Foxes, My Lost youth, Knights and Sons and Lovers, with one further band still to be confirmed.
“We’re expecting about 500 at the event,” said a spokesperson for the Youth Council. “We’re really excited to have The Holloways headlining, as well as some great local bands, and hope young people from across Richmondshire will come and enjoy the night”.
The event will start at 6pm (doors open at 5.30pm) and will end at 11pm. The event is strictly alcohol free, with car parking available at Nuns Close car park, off Hurgill Road in Richmond – a two minute walk from the castle.
