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.

The West Yorkshire Savoyards, celebrating their 50th year, make a welcome return to The Georgian Theatre Royal with the magical Gilbert & Sullivan comic-opera, Iolanthe.

One of the most popular of the ‘Savoy operas’, Iolanthe sees Gilbert & Sullivan at their sublime and satirical best. The world of politics and the world of fairy-tale collide in this irreverent send-up of Parliament set to some of the most beautiful music ever written by Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Be prepared for laughs, thrills and fabulous music in this touring production directed by Graham Weston, who also plays the Lord Chancellor, with a professional orchestra conducted by Oliver Longstaff.

Tickets cost £18 (£6 for under 18s) and are available from The Box Office on 01748 825252 or online at www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
