Shopping in Ripon
Going shopping in Ripon is a great way to discover Ripon. As well as the traditional market square with the popular weekly market there are beautiful medieval streets where business owners have turned their curiosities and passions into vibrant local businesses.
When you are shopping in the cathedral city you can visit dedicated businesses staffed with enthusiasts offering everything from books to furniture, local food to fashionable clothing.
Passions and interests such as cycling and fly-fishing are catered for at specialist shops, reflecting Ripon’s rural location on the edge of the Nidderdale National Landscape.
The monthly Little Bird artisan market in the market square around the obelisk gives visitors the perfect opportunity to purchase from passionate local crafters, makers and producers.
Its compact size means it is the perfect city to mix retail with relaxation. You can enjoy fantastic food and drink on the quiet side streets with the option to explore the museums or Cathedral and learn about the history of this wonderful city.
