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.

Touring company, the West Yorkshire Savoyards present Gilbert and Sullivan’s gothic melodrama, Ruddigore.

While perhaps not as well-known as some G&S comic-operas, Ruddigore, or The Witch’s Curse is arguably funnier and more tongue-in-cheek than some of the big-hitters. Expect all the familiar G&S elements: terrific music, social satire, comic pathos -- but with a seasoning of sinister spectres!

A family curse means a baronet must commit a crime every day or perish. In trying to escape his fate, he encounters dancing sailors, frustrated bridesmaids and a chorus of ghostly ancestors. What could possibly go wrong?!

Tickets cost £18 (£6 for accompanied under 16s) and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or online at www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
