Ripon Cathedral Spring Food, Home & Garden Fair returns for another exciting year, kindly sponsored by The Inn Collection Group.

On Saturday April 15 the Spring Food, Home & Garden Fair will return for another year.  The fair is a fantastic day out to celebrate springtime, with something for all the family and raising vital funds for the mission, heritage conservation, music, education programme and running costs of Ripon Cathedral.

We have over 80 stalls of fabulous gardening goods and homewares, delicious local food and plenty of activities for children including: a mobile petting farm with spring animals from Riggmoor Reindeer; the ever-popular Lego play and create sessions provided by The Brick Box Yorkshire; a chocolate tombola and a spin the wheel game run by the choristers of Ripon Cathedral Choir.  Further highlights include live music throughout the day, which is included in the entry price.

The popular cathedral plant stall will be back again selling affordable plants and the cathedral pop up café will be selling pulled pork sandwiches, homemade cakes and hot drinks throughout the day.

The fair is kindly sponsored by The Inn Collection Group, the pub with rooms operator which is currently undertaking the vast renovation programme at the old Ripon Spa Hotel.  The opening of this new inn will provide much needed bed space in the city of Ripon.  Visitors can come and chat with the The Inn Collection Group staff at the Spring Fair to find out more information about their plans and staff roles, for which they are currently recruiting.

The Spring Food, Home and Garden Fair will take place on Saturday 15th April at Ripon Cathedral from 10.00am until 4.00pm. Tickets are available online now at Spring Food, Home and Garden Fair Tickets, Sat 15 Apr 2023 at 10:00 | Eventbrite £5 for adults, plus booking fee. Accompanied children under 16 enter free.
