What's Happening?
Create and connect at the Richmond Arts and Ideas Festival, starting TOMORROW!
The Richmond Arts and Ideas Festival is back from 13-29 June, and we're inviting all residents and visitors to join us for two weeks of performances, talks, workshops and creative encounters across the whole of the borough. This year’s festival brings artists, thinkers, and communities together for over 60 events which will ask questions through art and culture. Under the theme of 'Cultural Reforesting', the programme explores how we can renew our relationship with nature.
