Ripon Summer Funfest change
The next event will be on Saturday August 13 at the Grammar School but the line-up for that event has changed due to the cancellation of the wheelchair rugby demonstration.
Ripon Together Board member, David Ingham, said: “It’s a shame that the wheelchair rugby teams cannot now be at our event.

The fun kicks off at 1pm and includes the climbing wall, accessible swimming for people with disabilities, kurling, boccia and large board games in addition to more traditional sports such as basketball, netball, volleyball or badminton.
The Funfest continues with free events at Studley Royal cricket ground on Monday August 15, Tuesday 16 and Thursday 18.
Events include croquet, athletics, cricket, an obstacle course, shooting, archery and a hog roast.
All events are free, though booking is needed for some.

“The athletics sessions are now full, but there are still loads of other activities for people to try.
“People need to book for some of them so they should just check out the website.”
