Cathedral Concert Society

The Cathedral Concert Society meets once a month from October to Easter to listen to recitals and small concerts in the wonderful surroundings of Ripon Cathedral.

A chance to mark your diaries for next autumn and winter so that you do not miss these superb concerts which so much enlighten the dark evenings. And you can still subscribe for the whole season and ensure that there will be other seasons to follow this one.
