A warm welcome to
Ripon Cathedral
This vibrant, living church has an unbroken history reaching back to the 7th century serving the small city of Ripon and the vast rural county of North Yorkshire. Alongside our sister cathedrals of Bradford and Wakefield, we are here to welcome and serve those of all faiths and none, in this 21st century Diocese of Leeds.
We hope to inspire you to visit us as a worshipper, a pilgrim, a heritage enthusiast or a tourist, exploring this sacred space and the many delights of the local area. You are very welcome.

A place of
Worship
Prayer and worship are at the heart of all that we do at Ripon Cathedral. The varied daily services are the foundation of our mission. All services are open to everyone whether you are a regular worshipper; a visitor passing through; someone in need of a few moments of peace for prayer; or ‘just curious.’
You will find a friendly welcome and, we hope, a sense of God’s presence.
