Don’t miss him this year! \n10am Market Place \n1pm Minster Gardens \n3pm Market Place \n\nThe (Little) Hazelsong Dragons\n \nCute or scary? You decide. Hazelsong Theatre bring their newest dragon creations to the streets of Ripon. Mobile\, curious and persistent\, you’d better watch out – they could be anywhere! \n10am-4pm Ripon City Centre \n\nThe Giant Balloon Show\n \nThe Giant Balloon Show will have the audience in stitches and in awe simultaneously. Expect feverous balloon sculptures\, high energy comic performance and of course the all-important giant balloon! Take everything you know about balloons\, add an award-winning entertainer and an 80’s soundtrack\, and twist that into a highly entertaining show for the whole family. \n11.30am Market Place \n1.30pm Minster Gardens \n\nLocal Performers\nEnjoy some super local performers throughout the day\, including: \nAll For One Choir \n \nRipon Youth Theatre \n \nFreddie Cleary \n \nRipon City Morris Dancers \n \n400 Roses \n \nMaggie Wakeling  \n \nAlannah Creed \n \n  \n
