What's On

We are very sad that our Patron and supporter of the arts in Richmond, Bamber Gascoigne, has died at home following a short illness. Bamber supported all aspects of arts and culture in the borough and will be very much missed.

Bamber Gascoigne CBE was an active Patron of Arts Richmond for many years, dating back to the 1970s, when Edward Bostock CBE was Chairman. When, in 2016, Arts Richmond celebrated its 50th Anniversary with ‘The Golden Thread’ and staged the reading of all Shakespeares 154 Sonnets in one day to include all Patrons, Affiliated Societies and Committee Members, Bamber Gascoigne embraced wholeheartedly the invitation to read Sonnet 18, ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’. He was thoroughly supportive of the whole concept of 154 different people reading the 154 sonnets. He will be greatly missed by the Richmond arts community.
