Step back into the golden age of music hall as Ripon brings its own variety show to the stage for one very special weekend. Ripon Varieties & Music Hall is an exuberant evening of songs, comedy, magic, poetry, music, Morris dancing, local characters and plenty of audience participation. Inspired by the entertainment once enjoyed at Ripon’s Victorian music halls and Opera House, the show combines much-loved singalong favourites with comic sketches, curious local stories and a wonderfully eclectic collection of performers. Expect plenty of fun and frivolity — and come prepared to join in, because the audience is very much part of the show. Whether you remember the great music-hall songs or are discovering them for the first time, this promises to be a warm, funny and thoroughly entertaining celebration of Ripon and the great British variety tradition.
Show starts at 7:00pm.
