About Ripon Market

Ripon’s market, held in the central market square, is a vibrant display of local character. It features a wide range of goods, from fresh fruit and vegetables to fish, cheese, baked goods, and homemade pastries. You’ll also find homewares, hardware, and pet supplies. The market takes place every Thursday, with a smaller version on Saturdays for essentials like fruit, flowers, and butchers’ items. Dating back to the 11th century, the market is ceremoniously opened at 11 am by the Ripon Bellman, a tradition dating nearly 700 years.
