creating a 21st century
Cathedral
Ripon Cathedral attracts 100,000 visitors per year in addition to pilgrims, worshippers and, with regular large-scale events, thousands of concertgoers. We remain steadfast in our commitment to the vision of providing 21st century facilities for the cathedral.
We are also dedicated to protecting the fabric of the cathedral for future generations, some of which has been in continuous use for over 1,350 years.

An update on
Ripon Cathedral Renewed
The Chapter of Ripon Cathedral has this week taken the decision to withdraw the current planning application for its proposed annex on the north side of the cathedral.
While the need for the facilities which the proposed new building would deliver grows ever more urgent, we believe, as we always have, that our development must be part of a wider agreed plan for the city. This includes creating a ‘Cathedral Quarter’, which would deliver wider benefits to the city and county.
