Over 60 independent traders took part at the event in the city’s cathedral, the first following an enforced two-year break due to Covid restrictions.
They included Ruth English, owner of Winnie’s Yorkshire Delights in Thirsk, who won Local Product of The Year at a previous event for her beetroot relish.
Lampshade designer Vanessa Hart, of Hartisan Designs, also appeared at the festival.
Other attractions at the show, sponsored by Enterprise Retirement Living, included a mobile petting zoo featuring animals from nearby Brimham Rocks Adventure Farm.
The Dean of Ripon, the Very Rev John Dobson, had a cuddle with Larna, a pygmy goat on the steps of the ancient cathedral, before taking a tour around the building to meet with stall-holders.
Llamas were also part of the day with children queueing to meet and greet them.
Performances from popular Knaresborough-based Knot Another Choir and pianist David Powling were on hand to delight visitors to the show.
Also popular was the Cathedral Plant Stall and pop up Cathedral Café.
