About the Richmondshire Concerts
The Richmondshire Concerts next season will take place at Richmond School on the Darlington Road. It is a large venue with good acoustics: warm, with comfortable seating. Seats are un-numbered. Concerts start at 19:30, and the auditorium doors open at 19:00. If you arrive before then, there is limited seating available in the foyer.
The venue is about 20 minutes by car from Leyburn or Darlington, 30 from Northallerton, Bedale or Barnard Castle, 40 from Thirsk, Ripon, Stockton or Durham. There is free parking at the school.

Interval refreshments
Concerts will be about two hours long, with an interval, in which wine, tea and coffee will still be available after our move to Richmond School
Wheelchairs and Disabled access is available.
Wheelchair and disabled access to the auditorium is available. For assistance, we will be very happy to help. Please contact the sales desk in the foyer. There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet.
Seasonal Programme
Our seasonal Programme is posted out and available on this website in August.
Season Tickets
Season Tickets normally become available when the Seasonal Programme is posted out, and may be bought at any time before the second concert of the season. A Season Ticket gets you six excellent concerts for £60 for 2023/24 Season. We believe they are by some way the best value subscription concerts in the area. Season Ticket holders may vote at our AGM and receive benefits including guaranteed seating and downloadable, free advance concert programmes (see below).
Concert programmes
We produce printed programmes for most concerts: they are packed with valuable information about the artists, composers and the works being performed, and they cost £1. Season Ticket holders may also download programmes free of charge five days before every concert.
