Richmond Barracks is home to a library, workshops and cultural activities, along with a programme of historical tours and talks. A programme called Culture Connects runs from the centre offering new opportunities to participate in cultural activities for people of all ages. We are also excited to offer a series of online talks and workshops.

Join our Walking Tours and delve into the history of the local area. Take a look below for more details.

Mondays at the Mess is a series of talks at Richmond Barracks that celebrate the rich stories and experiences of the local community, past and present.

Through workshops and activities, Culture Connects invites you to try out new things, make and create together, and to connect through culture and conversation. From gardening to dance, writing, painting, movement, history and more, there’s lots to explore.
