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.

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.
