From Ripon's priceless regalia, to readings for children in the library, today's Sights and Sounds event had something for all the family.
Seven of the city's best-known locations opened their doors between 11am and 2pm to provide free entertainment and interactive fun for families.
The programme, organised by Harrogate Borough Council, included activities ranging from participation in a Victorian school lesson at the Workhouse Museum, to a visit to the bell tower at Ripon Cathedral.
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Zoe Metcalfe, who opened the event.
Retired solicitor Simon Crosfield, who works as a volunteer at the Courthouse Museum, let these two youngsters know what it's like to face a judge.
There was an opportunity to watch Ripon Youth Theatre rehearsing at the city's Arts Hub.
