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.

Beginners Lino Workshop

The Station

Join local artist Merlyn from The Littlest Falcon to spend a creative day learning the art of single-colour lino printing.

We shall be printing greetings cards in this relaxed, hands-on three-hour session, perfect for beginners.

What to Expect: Bring along a simple idea for your card design, this can be any theme you choose, though Summer is a perfect choice for this time of year. We’ll be working on lino blocks around 4x5.5” so keep that size in mind when planning.

Don’t worry about having it perfect before you arrive – there will be time to adjust, and Merlyn will be there to help with any advice. You’ll learn various mark-making techniques and how to transfer your design onto your lino block. Once carved, you’ll be able to test print your block and make any adjustments before printing your final design. We’ll be printing by hand burnishing - a simple method you can easily replicate at home.

Materials: We’ll work with lino blocks approximately 4x5.5” in size, printing onto 6x card blanks each. Oil-based inks will be used (note: these take about a week to dry once you take your print home).

What to Bring: Your own apron Clothes you don’t mind getting inky - oil-based ink can stain Any tools you’d like to use (optional) £60 per person
