The 2022 Festival was a great success - don't take our word for it but listen to the views of our attendees: "The talks were brilliant"; "Well organised and a friendly reception"; "Good variety of walks and talks"; "Extremely well organised and planned events"; "Good company". 100% of the respondents to our survey said they would recommend the Festival to a friend.

We hope to see you in Richmond this September. 

Many thanks to our advertisers and sponsors for making this Festival possible. Particular thanks to our 2022 sponsors Richmondshire Dsitrict Council, Richmond Town Council, Purple Creative, Altberg and Millgate House. And of course many thanks to our wonderful volunteers.
