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.

Pat Fulgoni: Blues Experience Unplugged

St Mary's Church

The Friends of St.Marys Church in Richmond are taking the huge success of 
the past few years to book Pat Fulgoni as the first band to kick start its
season of “ Blues in the Pews” for 2026.


Renowned for a voice that Billboard once claimed could "sing a pearl from its 
oyster," Pat Fulgoni steps away from the high-octane energy of his full band to 
present Pat Fulgoni Unplugged. This new series of performances and 
recordings strips back the layers, leaving only the soulful grit and towering 
vocal range that have made him a staple of the European blues and electronic 
scenes alike. Pat will be joined in this acoustic session by keyboard player 
Henry Botham, following the amazing success of their recent tour dates.The 
support band are as usual The Rolling Drystones, lead by John Meara.

Tickets available from Bookstop, Market Hall in Richmond or 
found the note@yahoo.com . £10 in advance or £12 on the door.
