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.

The perfect show for Shakespeare lovers and sceptics alike!

Journey to medieval Scotland for this perfect introduction to Shakespeare for audiences young and old.

Just Macbeth! is by far the stupidest version of Shakespeare’s great big gory tragedy you might ever see. Our story follows school-aged Andy, Danny and Lisa as they prepare their homework presentation: an extract featuring the three witches.  On reciting their lines and concocting their potion, they are transported back to medieval Scotland!  

Exploring the themes and story of Macbeth through the eyes of our three hapless heros, this hilarious and irreverent take on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy will have the audience in stitches!

A new production by Our Star Theatre Company, written by Andy Griffiths.

Age Suitability: 7+

Tickets cost £17 and are available from Box Office on 01748 825252 or online: www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
