What's on in Ripon
Great events all year round
This busy little city boasts a varied and impressive events calendar with some big events you might expect, and a few you won’t. The Ripon Theatre Festival in June brings street theatre, dance and family shows for four days of performances.
The annual St Wilfrid’s Procession sees a carnival atmosphere take to the streets where a range of floats accompanied by music and dancing provide fun for visitors of all ages.
In September the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show takes place at the nearby historic house.
A budding grass roots arts scene sees regular exhibitions throughout the year and musical events are a regular feature at the cathedral.
There are always great events for you to enjoy, browse below to see what is coming up.
