How’s that for a view! The fabulous @waterratrip

How’s that for a view! The fabulous @waterratripon is just a short stroll from our medieval market square and well worth a visit. Enjoy a great selection of real ales, home cooked comfort food and of course a wonderful Yorkshire welcome. Summer evenings by the river never looked so good

Have you checked out the amazing outdoor play area

Have you checked out the amazing outdoor play area at @ntfountainsabbey?
The fantastical playscape is crafted from sustainable timber and has been designed to perfectly compliment nature and its stunning surroundings. Set amongst shady trees, it's the perfect place for shaded play on a hot summer's day too. Little den builders will be delighted with dedicated sticks and frames provided to allow their imaginations to flourish. With scramble nets, a slide, swings, giant rope bridge, zip wire (to name but a few!), set alongside a wooden house and abbey, outside play has never been much fun.
The play area is fully accessible and also has a wheelchair accessible roundabout and five point harness swings to ensure fully inclusive play. Just a hop, skip and jump from toilets, the visitors centre and our fantastic restaurant, all their facilities are easily to hand should you need them. For more information regarding opening times and family membership why not check out their website today.
Fresh air & fun sounds like a pretty perfect Sunday to us!

Prepare to be impressed, we certainly were when we

Prepare to be impressed, we certainly were when we visited the fantastic @claytonshomestylegifts on Kirkgate recently.
Style, quality, comfort and fantastic customer service are at the heart of what Clayton's have to offer. Whether it's helping a customer select the right carpet or curtain fabric or advice on furniture paint (they stock the amazing @frenchicpaintsuffolk eco friendly paint), the team are passionate about helping you choose items that really will turn your house into a home.
With gorgeous cards for every occasion, beautiful rugs, children's toys, gifts and accessories from the stunning @wrendaledesigns and home fragrance from the award winning @heylandandwhittle, a trip to this stylish store really is a must. We caught up with the lovely Heather about all things Ripon :
1. Why do you like doing business in Ripon?
Ripon really is a very friendly place. It's great to keep it local and help local businesses too as we offer services to both domestic and commercial customers
2.What is one of the best aspects of your job?
I love working with customers on their interiors projects, coordinating both their flooring and curtains & helping them bring their ideas to life!
3. What is your top tip or recommendation of where to visit in Ripon?
I really like to support our independent businesses. The food at Prima Pizzeria is fantastic and I do like to stop in at @caffe.tempo for lunch or a coffee before work too.
People make Places! It’s people at the heart of Ripon who really make our wonderful city come alive.

Our team here at Ripon BID & Visit Ripon are proud

Our team here at Ripon BID & Visit Ripon are proud to be sponsoring & supporting the spectacular St Wilfrid’s Day parade which takes place tomorrow the 30th of July.
Ripon is truly steeped in history and is also home to ancient traditions such as the parade that dates as far back as 1108 when King Henry 1st granted a royal charter to the City Of Ripon to hold an annual fair. After a two year break, the parade is back with a bang this year and it is also extra special to have proceedings back on track as @riponcathedral continues it's 1350th Celebrations.
With thousands set to line the route, the procession is due to begin on Studley Road at 1.30pm & will wind its way through our ancient streets finishing at Ripon Cathedral at approximately 4.30pm. For full route information please check out the St Wilfreds Procession website.
Enjoy a feast of colours, procession of amazing floats, a carnival atmosphere and a true celebration of our ancient city this Saturday!
