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.

Terry Deary: Actually I'm A Corpse

The Georgian Theatre Royal

1973. Hours after a mysterious phone call is made to the police, a train pulls into Sunderland station with a dead body on board. Cause of death: strangulation. Victim: unknown. Witnesses: none.

Undeterred by this baffling set of circumstances, newly promoted Police Sergeant Aline James vows to crack the case and prove her critics wrong! But when her famously ruthless investigation tactics yield no results, she is forced to seek help from unlikely allies: unassuming assassin John Brown and calamitous actor Tony Davies. As the bodies pile up, can this unusual trio thwart a devilishly complex plot, before one of them, actually becomes a corpse?

Well-known for his beloved books and television adaptations of The Horrible Histories, Terry Deary has always loved reading murder mysteries. For his 350th book he finally decided to write his own titled Actually, I’m a Murderer. He now follows up with the second title in the series Actually, I’m a Corpse.

“Extraordinarily fun and oh-so-gripping” The i Paper
