Spooky Windows Light Up Ripon This Hallowe’en

Ripon businesses are getting into the Hallowe’en spirit this October half term with our Ripon BID Hallowe’en Window Competition.

Shops, cafés, and businesses across the city are transforming their windows with pumpkins, cobwebs, and plenty of spooky surprises.

Visitors and residents are invited to explore Ripon, enjoy the displays, and cast their vote for their favourite. Voting is quick and easy—simply scan the QR code on posters displayed in participating businesses.

The business with the most votes will win a full-page advert in Review Ripon, giving them a fantastic opportunity to showcase their services to the wider community.

By voting, you’ll not only help crown the best Halloween display, but you’ll also be showing support for Ripon’s local businesses and be in with a chance to win vouchers to fabulous Ripon businesses.

How to take part:
