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.

"I can resist everything except temptation."
DOT Productions present Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan, a sparkling revival brimming with wit, charm and the company’s signature comedic flair. 

This nimble five-actor adaptation brings Wilde’s razor-sharp dialogue and delicious social satire to life with inventive staging and playful character doubling. 

When Lady Windermere begins to suspect her husband’s loyalty, a mysterious woman’s arrival threatens to upend her world. A whirlwind of gossip, temptation, and mistaken intentions follows – leading to a revelation that challenges every assumption. 

Light-footed, stylish and irresistibly funny, this production captures the heart of Wilde’s classic while offering a fresh, intimate twist. A delightful evening of scandal, elegance and laughter awaits.

Tickets £19 from Box Office or online: www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
