Looking back on 2025
The fourth Ripon Theatre Festival took place over six days and nights from 1-6 July 2025, with a record number of events and an increase in total attendances. We extended our Community Outreach Programme, reached new audiences, supported the local economy and helped put Ripon on the regional cultural map.
“Ripon has built something that feels both ambitious and accessible, professional and personal.” The Yorkshire Times
