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.

The town’s many choirs and two orchestras offer up regular concerts, alongside the Richmondshire Concert Series in Spring and Autumn bringing in world-class chamber ensembles, while there’s plenty of live music at The Comrades Club and at many of the town’s great pubs. Richmond’s festivals are amazingly diverse, from the lively performance scene at MayFest to the delights of both “books and boots” at September’s Walking and Book Festival - never mind the epic Duck Race on the Swale.

Craft markets, health and wellbeing events, every kind of community group you can think of, talks, walks… you’ll always find something to enjoy.

What would you wear in the 1920s?

In Divine Deco - The Art of the Dressmaker, costume historians Lucy Adlington and Meridith Towne (the History Wardrobe) showcase all-original fashions from the Art Deco era, from glitzy evening gowns to stylish streetwear and even silk pyjamas.

We'll explore the ways in which women of all ages and all sizes adapted and enjoyed fashionable outfits, shaped by lingerie and foundation garments – all beautifully  accessorised of course. Patterns, fabrics and embellishments make a dazzling transformation!

From the creators of Woman in Gold and Halfway to Hollywood
