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.

The town’s many choirs and two orchestras offer up regular concerts, alongside the Richmondshire Concert Series in Spring and Autumn bringing in world-class chamber ensembles, while there’s plenty of live music at The Comrades Club and at many of the town’s great pubs. Richmond’s festivals are amazingly diverse, from the lively performance scene at MayFest to the delights of both “books and boots” at September’s Walking and Book Festival - never mind the epic Duck Race on the Swale.

Craft markets, health and wellbeing events, every kind of community group you can think of, talks, walks… you’ll always find something to enjoy.

Prodigies and Whizz-Kids: The Richmond Chamber Orchestra

The Georgian Theatre Royal

The Richmond Chamber Orchestra presents a fascinating afternoon of music by young composers, prodigies who revealed their genius between the ages of 12 and 21. Childish scribbles? Think again!

The music is passionate, witty, and tender. Written at 16, Mendelssohn’s Octet is a fiery masterpiece; whizz-kids Rossini (12) and Mozart (16) wrote to amuse and challenge friends and family. Britten adapted music he wrote aged 12-17; and here is Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue way beyond the horizon. Prepare to be astonished.

Rossini - String Symphony No. 4

Britten - Simple Symphony

Mozart - Divertimento K136

Mendelsshohn - Octet for Strings
