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.

Coming up this month it's Green Howards weekend on 9-10 May with the parade of veterans on Sunday, and then 23rd-25th May enjoy the spectacle of Richmond Meet and the Whit Fair in the Market Place. Everyone is welcome to join in the parade on Monday 25th May, with a vehicle float or walking float - or just line the streets to watch the parade go by from Nuns Close to the Market Place. 

The end of May also brings the varied magnificence of the Swaledale Festival, with many events taking place in Richmond and across the Dales.

Visit beautiful and historic Mr Yorke's Walled Garden.

This 18th century walled garden, which has fabulous views of Richmond Castle and Culloden Tower, is opening to raise money for Richmond MayFest. Refreshments, homemade cakes, and music from Trouvere.

The garden was built by John Yorke, who lived with his wife, Anne, in a 17th Century mansion, which stood near the Green by the banks of the River Swale.

The mansion was demolished in the early 19th century, and the Walled Garden was later used as a market garden. In the 1980s it was planted with a variety of interesting saplings that were to be grown on for sale, but many were left and are now mature.

Current owners, Dennis and Marcia McLuckie, have created an individual, interesting and productive garden, which they enjoy sharing at their open events.

1a Cravengate, Richmond DL10 4RE

1.30-5pm

NB: No parking at the garden. Please park in Newbiggin, the Market Place or car parks at Nuns Close and The Green.
