Richmond London: what's on and things to do

What is on in Richmond and out to Hampton Court: the palace after dark at Halloween, the ice rink from November, the riverside pubs and Kew's light trails in winter. Check the last train before you book a late slot.

What to expect

9 listings ahead in Richmond. The busiest rooms are Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace and Richmond Park. Mostly Seasonal and Sport.

Nearby

Each venue above has its own page with its address, its opening hours and every date we hold for it.

Saturday

24 October
  1. Sport Free

    Dogs in Richmond Park

    07:30 Richmond Park, Richmond

    The largest of the royal parks and the one with the deer, which is why dogs must be on a lead in May and June and in September and October. The gates open and close with the light.

  2. Free

    Stargazing in Richmond Park

    19:00 Richmond Park, Richmond

    Until 31 Oct

    The darkest sky inside London, far enough from the centre that the Milky Way is occasionally there. The park closes at dusk in winter, so this is a late summer and autumn thing.

  3. Seasonal From £19.50

    Halloween at Kew: after-dark trail

    18:00 to 22:00 Kew Gardens, Richmond

    Until 1 Nov

    A lit trail with live actors and the headless horseman. Non-members from 19.50 off peak, and 1 pound on Universal Credit or Pension Credit. Opens 6pm, 4pm from 25 October.

  4. Seasonal Included with admission

    Halloween at Hampton Court Palace

    10:00 Hampton Court Palace, Richmond

    Until 1 Nov

    Daytime rather than a ticketed after dark trail: costumed characters through the state apartments and the maze, all of it inside the normal admission price.
