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.

Join us as we tell the timeless story of Cinderella, her wicked stepmother, a magical fairy godmother, and a dash from the ball before the clock strikes midnight. But this is Richmond, so you can expect so much more!

Our legendary pantomime will be packed with all your favourite ingredients. There will be side-splitting comedy and toe-tapping songs, along with our famous panto knitting to keep you in stitches. Expect the iconic Tunnock’s treats woven into the fun and plenty of laughs and surprises along the way.

Don’t miss the chance to experience the magic and mayhem that makes our pantomime the highlight of the festive season.
