This is one of the gems in Richmond Northyorks that is absolutely worth a visit. Many visitors are surprised at just how small it is.
My first experience of the theatre was when I was on a school trip ( just a few years ago 🤥🙂). It’s full of history and the tours are held by volunteers which last about 55 minutes.
They take you behind the stage , show you the secret trap doors and back stage dressing rooms and Auditorium.
Tickets are £8 for Adults and £3 for children

Richmond Operatic Society Georgian Theatre Royal, Richmond, North Yorkshire
Did you know that this used to be the original entrance to the Theatre? The audience would enter from Friars Wynd and file past the pay box which you can still see on the left hand side.
In those days, most people paid on the night. Richer patrons would send their servants to pay and sit in the good seats until their master and mistress arrived to take their place.
Tickets generally cost a shilling for the gallery, two shillings for the pit and three shillings for the boxes. The average weekly wage was five shillings.
