What's On

There's never a dull moment in Richmond...

There’s always something to do and somewhere to go in Richmond. With the unique Georgian Theatre Royal plus the award-winning independent cinema at The Station, drama and cinema are well taken care of, and then there’s the sparkling events programme at the Green Howards Museum, as well as Richmond Castle and the Richmondshire Museum.

Right now, we are deep in the varied magnificence of the Swaledale Festival, with many events taking place in Richmond and across the Dales. 

It’s the second week of the festival, and there’s lots to enjoy, from Clare Teal's silken-voiced magic in Leyburn, to the world premiere in Aysgarth of new music inspired by the Dales and its rivers. Just before the premiere, composer Vivek Haria joins Festival patron Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason to discuss the new work and his creative process. 

The Festival closes with the infectious global folk collective Mishra + Deepa Shakthi.

We also celebrate local arts and artists, from a Richmond Chamber Orchestra collaboration to craftspeople rooted in the Dales.

An Unexpected Item - More Silly Songs and Monologues

The Georgian Theatre Royal

After last year’s sensational sell-out success, those two local ‘leg ends’ Adrian Bramley and Gregan Davis return to the Georgian stage – despite numerous requests to leave the country. 

Prepare for another evening of wit, tuneful tomfoolery and gloriously dodgy history lessons as they revive the timeless songs of Flanders and Swann, stir in the wicked humour of Tom Lehrer, breathe life into Marriott Edgar’s brilliantly daft monologues and add a dash of Jake Thackray’s lugubrious looks at Yorkshire life.

Adrian returns to the piano while Gregan once again reluctantly steps into the narrative spotlight. But just what will you find in the bagging area?!

This is a fund-raising event in aid of The Georgian Theatre Royal helping to keep theatre live in Richmond.

Tickets cost £15 and are avialble from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online at: www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
