We’re delighted to have been included in a list of 'Britain’s most underrated wonders' published by The Telegraph over the Bank Holiday weekend!

Ten regular contributors to Telegraph Travel were asked to reveal the lesser-known British places they believe deserve more attention — and we’re thrilled that our theatre in Richmond made the top 10. 🎭

Here’s what travel writer Paul Bloomfield had to say:

“Ever wondered what a theatrical performance looked (and smelt and sounded) like in Jane Austen’s day? Step inside Richmond’s Georgian Theatre Royal.

Built in 1788 by actor-manager Samuel Butler for his touring troupe, Britain’s most complete Georgian playhouse remains miraculously intact since it closed nearly two centuries ago, down to the pale green decor and boxes named for playwrights: Goldsmith, Sheridan, Dryden, Congreve and, of course, Shakespeare.

Back then, the 400 or so punters packed into pit, stalls and boxes, cheered, booed, and even threw things at actors throughout the show lasting five or six hours. Book tickets for a performance today and you’ll enjoy a much more elegant experience; better still, join an immersive backstage tour, admiring probably the oldest surviving stage set in the UK.

Then explore the winsome town’s hulking Norman castle and ruined Easby Abbey, pick up a slab of Wensleydale in the cobbled market square and pair with a slice of fruity Yorkshire tea loaf.”

And we’re in very good regional company, with High Force in County Durham also making the top 10.

So, if you haven’t yet discovered this remarkable little piece of theatrical history, perhaps it’s time to find out what all the fuss is about by taking a tour or coming to see a show!

The most fabulous open space for dog walks 👌

A warm summer morning at Richmond Racecourse, and from up here you can still read the shape of what was once one of the grandest racing venues in Georgian England.

Horse racing was happening around Richmond as early as 1512, with racing moving to this site on Low Moor in 1765. The course finally closed in 1891, but its extraordinary Georgian grandstand survives - built around 1775 and regarded as the oldest surviving stone-built public racecourse grandstand in the world.

And there’s some genuinely good news too. More than £400,000 has now been secured to stabilise and restore the old grandstand, giving this remarkable survivor a much better chance of still being here for generations to come. One of those places where the history is still written into the landscape, even long after the crowds and horses have gone.
