Ripon's invitation to family funfair seekers
With no funfair on Harrogate Stray this Bank Holiday, families across the district with younger children are being invited to visit Ripon.
Saturday and Sunday will see the city hold its second summer weekend event on Market Square, with two fairground roundabouts and a climbing wall free of charge.
This follows the Yorkshire Day weekend, that saw the city hold its first large-scale public event since the covid lockdowns.
While this weekend's activities are principally aimed at people living in Ripon and the surrounding areas, families from further afield can also attend.
City council leader, Andrew Williams, said:
Those visiting from outside Ripon, who would like to stay later, are also invited to attend Saturday night's free concert, featuring three tribute acts performing on a stage in front of Ripon Town Hall.
The children's rides and climbing wall will be open from 2pm until 8pm on Saturday and 10am until 4pm on Sunday. The musical entertainment starts at 7pm on Saturday.
On Sunday, from 10am until 3pm the next in the series of Little Bird artisan markets, featuring handmade goods produced locally, will also be held on Market Square.
