Reduced entry cost to Ripon museums this week
Holders of a valid National Lottery ticket or scratch card can use them to get discounted entry tickets to Ripon's museums up until Sunday. It's part of National Lottery Open Week.
Ripon Museum Trust is offering discounted tickets for its three heritage attractions.
The cost of entry to the Workhouse, Prison & Police and Old Courthouse museums, will be reduced by 15 percent from today until Sunday.
Visitors with a valid National Lottery ticket or scratch card, will be able to claim the discount.
The offer is being provided to mark National Lottery Open Week.
This recognises the the £30million raised for good causes every week by players of Lotto and associated games.
Helen Thornton, director of Ripon Museum Trust, said:
“We’re delighted to be taking part.
"We’ve been fortunate to receive funding from the National Lottery, which has helped us save the main Workhouse building for posterity and to carry out essential repair works to our historic buildings during lockdown.
"By taking part in the campaign, we’re saying a huge thank you to all the lottery players who helped make this work possible and have supported so many good causes.”

In July, the trust received £40,100 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. This was used to safeguard its heritage buildings.
It also provided much-needed support for essential costs during the coronavirus crisis.
In addition, the trust, which maintains and operates Ripon's museums, received two grants totalling £186,850 from the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
The National Lottery is offering a ‘Ticket to Your Happy Place.’ It includes special offers at participating venues across the UK.
