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.

To hell with anger management! Shakespeare’s Malvolio suffered notorious wrong and vowed to be revenged on the ‘whole pack of them’. Three months after the events of Twelfth Night he relates, with a great deal of satisfaction, how skilfully he has kept his word.

In this new production from Tortive Theatre, Robin Leetham (Shakespeare’s Fool) takes to the stage as one of literature’s best loved/loathed characters as he demonstrates that he who laughs last, laughs longest and presents the events of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night through the prism of a wronged and much-maligned servant.
