The Nativity Saga
Venue: The Georgian Theatre Royal
Time: 7.30pm
A hilarious seasonal drama by Richmond Operatic Society.
A local operatic society attempts to put on a simple Nativity show. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, with this bunch of misfits, anything is possible!
The Nativity Saga tells the story of a rather unsuccessful attempt at an amateur society putting on the most famous story of them all. It is packed full of amazing songs, ranging from modern musical numbers, through to Christmas hits of the decades, to the more traditional festive classics.
Expect the unexpected with costume disasters, scenery issues, relationship dilemmas, musical mayhem and a lot of self-indulgent drama queens. Get into the festive spirit early and enjoy the chaos that will unfold!
Tickets from £7.50 to £14.50 are available from the Box Office on 01748 825252 or via the online booking service.

Book Launch
Venue: The Station

Heart of The Dales with D Mark Thompson
Inspired by Ronald Blythe’s ‘Akenfield’, Thompson set out to capture what was to become the last bastion of a simplicity and way of life little changed for over a century. Profusely illustrated, his fly on the wall treatment gives the characters face whilst his text – some transcribed from tape recordings of the time - give them voice. We meet the last lead miner from Greenhow Hill, an ice clad shepherd, a ninety-year-old innkeeper to the gentry, and the saviour of the Wensleydale cheese industry. Encounter a man so determined to find a lost cellar that didn’t exist he destroyed his home. Talk to a survivor of the ‘Suicide Club’ and even a Publican bared from his own bed! We discover the demise of the village shop, visit the hunt, learn of the decline of Dales Nonconformism and revel in the one lasting truth, the never-ending visual and emotional majesty that is the Yorkshire Dales.
The author will be here on the platform to meet you and sign copies of book. Castle Hill Bookshop will provide books to purchase on the day.
