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.

Little Women, adapted for the stage by Helen Cox from Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel, follows the four March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - as they navigate life during the American Civil War while their father serves as a chaplain.

Under the guidance of their devoted mother, Marmee, the sisters face hardship, social expectations and the challenges of growing up. Meg dreams of wealth and status; Jo longs to write and explore; Beth finds joy in music and home; and Amy aspires to beauty and refinement. Their friendship with Laurie, his tutor John Brooke and the stern Aunt March shapes their journey from little girls to little women.
