GeorgeFest19 - The Dramatic Exploits of Edmund Kean
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
This captivating one-man show celebrates one of the most unique talents that British theatre has ever produced.
Written and performed by award-winning Royal Shakespeare Company actor Ian Hughes, The Dramatic Exploits of Edmund Kean charts the rise and decline of the great 19th Century actor.
Following years of hardship as a strolling player, Kean was catapulted to stardom following his performance as Shylock at Drury Lane in 1814. Quickly becoming the most popular actor of his day, Kean electrified his audiences with his performances of Shakespeare. Yet within a few short years, Kean’s increasingly erratic behavior, fuelled by drink, ensured audiences remembered him for all the wrong reasons.
Ian spent over a decade at The Royal Shakespeare Company. He was the winner of the 1st Ian Charleson /Royal National Theatre Award for Best Actor presented to him by Sir Alec Guinness. His many TV appearances include Dr. Who, Robin Hood, Shakespeare & Hathaway, Torchwood, Alienists, Ransom, Gavin & Stacy, Mutual Friends and Stella.
Tickets cost £14 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Ardal O'Hanlon - The Showing Off Must Go On
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 8.00pm
An evening of stand-up comedy with Ardal O'Hanlon - star of Death in Paradise, Father Ted and My Hero.
Ardal continues to tour his acclaimed stand-up shows worldwide. Why? Because he loves it. And it’s a compulsion. And the world is a funny place.
In an age of raging populism, MeToo, identity politics, the end of truth, the collapsing middle ground, peak avocado and £15 gin and tonics, and terrified of being on the wrong side of history, and desperate to prove that his gender, race, age and class don’t necessarily define him, Ardal is forced to saddle his high horse again and ride fearlessly into the culture wars (with a white hankie in his pocket just in case). This is comedy, as ever, being the best emergency response mechanism to extreme events there is.
Age recommendation 16+
Tickets cost £16 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Uncle Vanya
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
Experience Chekhov's tragicomedy in a bittersweet, multi-disciplinary new adaptation of this classic text.
Isolated and seemingly beyond help, the weary inhabitants of one country household plunge head over heels in lust when a beautiful stranger arrives.
As the owner announces the estate sale for his own gain, the strains of repression and a chaste rural life begin to bubble among the hard-working occupants, until Vanya himself hits a palpable boiling point.
Theatrical Niche's acclaimed physical theatre team collaborate with international artist Lily Hunter Green, creating a unique showcase of art intertwined with this Russian masterpiece of desperation and the undeniable need for affection, at all costs.
This is an unmissable production of Chekhov's witty observations on the irrational human heart.
Suitable for ages 12+
Tickets cost from £11 to £16 and are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Richmond Walking and Books Festival
Venue: The Station
Time: 9.00am
Walk 1: Carlton-in-Coverdale – Old Ways and Dark Deeds – 7 miles moderate
This walk explores picturesque Coverdale. We follow lanes and a pretty riverside path to the little village of Horsehouse, now a quiet back-water but once a crossroads on major East-West and North-South stagecoach and pack-horse routes. We hear the story of the murderous landlady of one of the former inns on the old road into Nidderdale, then return along a lovely upland bridle path with fine long-distance views. There are a couple of short, sharp climbs but the walk is otherwise on gentle grades.

Barb Jungr: Bob, Brel and Me
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
Barb Jungr is "one of the world's great cabaret singers" (Time Out New York).
Her reputation may have gone to her head, as she will now only sing songs by writers whose names start with the letter B. But this means she can return to two colossi of popular song, whose writing has helped define her whole career. A good plan, because she is "one of the best interpreters of Jacques Brel and Bob Dylan anywhere on this angst-ridden planet today” (Village Voice).
In this brand new collection for 2019, Barb will turn her acclaimed ability at reinvention and reinterpretation to exploring her relationship with a set of Dylan and Brel songs she has never tackled before on stage or on disc, all in original arrangements.
“the alchemist among jazz singers… electrifying… the top rank of jazz singers… she is truly a marvel, who should not be missed” The Telegraph

We drop down to the River Tees and follow the Pennine Way along the riverbank, passing the dramatic High Force waterfall before arriving at the gentle Low Force waterfalls. After making our way back to Bowlees we should have plenty of time to stop off at the Visitor Centre to look at the displays and have a drink and a cake, or alternatively you may wish to wander up into the nature reserve and see picturesque waterfalls and Gibson’s Cave. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so remember to bring the camera! Whilst generally easy please note there will be one reasonable incline, and a number of streams to ford on this walk.

Walk 7: High Fells Challenge 2 – Leg 2 – Lovely Seat – 10 miles hard
Starting from the tiny Hamlet of Sedbusk we climb the cobbled Shutt Lane up Smooker Hill and soon emerge onto the peat moor. The Shooting Track takes us up to the top of White Beacon Hags, aptly named as we enter the largest peat bog section of this year’s walks. The route to the top is fairly well used but tricky if we get a wet summer. Lovely Seat, at 2,214ft, has fine views over Wensleydale and its tributary valleys, and tomorrows challenge, Great Shunner Fell. If we are lucky the fine stone seat will still be there for photos and selfies. A short drop takes us to the unfenced Buttertubs road which we follow briefly before a short climb back up Pike Hill and a good track back to Sedbusk.

Starting from the beck, which we leave behind us for a while, we will take a short but relatively steep climb up Telfit Bank, to be rewarded with magnificent views as we walk along the escarpment. After an opportunity to take a break at Helwith Tea Garden for refreshments the walk re-joins the beck, finishing with a gentle stroll back across fields and through woodland. There will be plenty of pauses to talk about local features and wildlife, and hopefully a chance to see some river wildlife during the walk.

Walk 10: High Fells Challenge 2 – Leg 3 – The Shunners
After the diabolical weather last year, we have been asked to repeat this walk so you can see what last year’s group missed! We start in the pretty hamlet of Hardraw, famous for its pub, waterfall and band festival. The ascent of Great Shunner Fell is long and relentless but brings its reward with the highest mountain of this year’s Challenge at 2,349ft. Straddling Swaledale and Wensleydale, on a clear day you can see all the High Fells we will have visited on both last year’s and this year’s Challenge. Little Shunner is a pimple by comparison leading to the start of the descent at Fossdale Moss. The return down the valley beside Hearne Beck is lovely, although sadly most of the wild flowers that thrive here in summer will be over. If you have time and energy after the walk a visit to Hardraw Force waterfall is well worth the small charge.

Descending towards the River Ure we cross over the Wensleydale Railway, a heritage line which will transport us back from Redmire Station. We can admire Bolton Hall, the present-day home of Lord Bolton before following field and woodland paths to view his earlier, less comfortable, castle home before catching the 15.55hrs train back to Leyburn.

Time: 7pm to 8.30pm
Join the museum team for an entertaining and poignant evening of readings from some of the literature in our care.

Tickets are £5 and can be booked by phone or online.

Walk 19: High Fells Challenge 2 – Leg 6 – Rogans Seat, Water Crag and Tan Hill – 12 miles hard
Starting from Keld we set off down the limestone gorge passing through the lead mining archaeology around Crackpot Hall and into Swinner Gill. This steep sided valley takes us up to the ridge at High Stone Man, from where we walk up the shooting track to Rogan's Seat at 2,205ft. No stone seat here but fine views of the extensive grouse moors and lead mining waste. We head out over the peat hags, and maybe some bog, onto Water Crag at 2,192ft. If clear we will see the Tan Hill Inn, at 1,732ft, in the distance, and walk past the old Coal Mines (The Tan) to reach its welcome refreshment. We will drag ourselves away to head down the Pennine Way back to Keld.

Walk 20: Upper Swaledale Barns – 8 miles moderate
We repeat a very successful special interest walk from last year, but with an extension to Ravenseat and the possibility of a tea-break at the farm owned by the Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen. Field barns and other historic buildings are a characteristic feature of the Yorkshire Dales and particularly so in Swaledale. Starting from Keld this walk across the upper dale focusses on some of the buildings, their previous uses and historical setting, and the memories which local people have of them, whilst of course enjoying all the wider aspects of this world class landscape. We head for Angram and walk via Black Hill and High Bridge to Ravenseat, before returning via Cotterby Scars to our starting point.

Passing through the delightful hamlet of Easby, with its Georgian Country House, we walk through rural fields and along farm tracks following the line of the Iron Age Scots Dyke, a linear earthwork extending from the River Tees to south of the River Swale. The elegant country park of Aske Hall provides a contrast to the farmland scenery before we return to Richmond.

Andy Parsons: Healing the Nation
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 8.00pm
An evening of stand-up with Andy Parsons, as seen on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, QI and repeated on Dave.
“It was 24th June 2016 and I found myself contemplating a supermarket meal deal. I only wanted a sandwich and I only needed a sandwich but given that I could get a snack and a drink for only 5p more it seemed financially irresponsible not to. I had spent so long pondering the EU Referendum result from the day before that I was now in a massive rush. The lad on the till scanned the first two items, no problem, but the third item he couldn’t get to scan at all. I thought this is going to be a nightmare – there was a queue building up and he looked like he was going to call the supervisor. Then to his credit, he tried to scan it one more time, it wouldn’t scan – so he went ‘bip’ himself and chucked it through. And it was at that moment I thought ‘oh we’ll be alright as a country we will’.
And we will be alright. Trust me. I’m not a politician.”

Silas Marner

Silas Marner, the great Victorian epic novel, is thrillingly and theatrically brought to the stage by the renowned Conn Artists Theatre Company in the bicentenary year of George Eliot’s birth. The heart moving action, set in the early years of the 19th century, is performed by an ensemble cast of seven actors accompanied by music and songs of the period.

Venue: The Green Howards Museum
Time: 7pm to 8.30pm
Museum Director, Lynda Powell explores the role of the men sent to Shanghai to serve British interests.
During the 1920s, Shanghai was crawling with spies, missionaries, political agitators and colonial entrepreneurs. Many countries, including Britain, made lucrative treaties with the Chinese, enabling them to establish trading outposts outside the ancient fortress city, and channel much-needed cash into near bankrupt post-war economies back home. The Green Howards were part of this intoxicating environment.

The Body Snatcher

The Body Snatcher is an unnerving experience inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s hair-raising horror!
Something is rotten in the town of Inglenook.
Sour milk, unread post, dogs howling day and night, the locals are vanishing...seemingly into thin air.
As fear haunts the remaining few, a young scientist is disturbed by a noise underground.
It’s the sound of terror, and it’s getting louder.
Live action, music and storytelling combine in a tale of mystery, morality, and science unhinged.
No body is safe...

Eat Your Greens before they Eat YOU!
Venue: Gilling West Village Hall
Time: 19:30
A talk on The Wonderful World of Carnivorous Plants with Peter & Hellenentje Walker
An illustrated talk by the proprietors of Wack's Wicked Plants, a North Yorkshire nursery that specialises in unusual plants - and carnivorous ones in particular! Their passion for their subject, and their fabulous display, won them a Gold Medal at Chelsea Flower Show last year.
They'll be regaling us with terrific colour images of their collection, and bringing along a selection of their favourites for us to get up close and personal with. (Well, maybe not too close!)
Members free, non-members always very welcome at just £3.
Hosted by Gilling Gardening Society
