Music, dance and theatre returns to the park at Marble Hill House park through September.

The historic home to Henrietta Howard, which has been beautifully restored by English Heritage, will be the backdrop to the events.

The programme has been put together by VisitRichmond and follows the success of last year's festival.

The festival will open on Sunday, September 4, with RichmondLive Musicals in the Park, featuring live performances from Boundless Dance, RISE and Combination Dance as well as Shelle Luscomb.

The following Sunday (September 11) will see Pop in the Park taking centre stage with performances by PowerJam, Jazz Perrin Collective, Ignite Me Theatre and Shelle Luscomb.

And the festival will come to a finale on Sunday 18 September with Classics in the Park, which will see performances from Richmond Shakespeare Society, Richmond Community Choir, Marble Hill Dance School and Shelle Luscomb.

All events will take place from 2 to 3.30pm each Sunday.
