Tickets go on sale for third Ripon Theatre Festival
Ripon's fast-growing theatre festival — now in its third year — will take place from Tuesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 7.
Building on the success of the two previous festivals, the events and activities will run over five days and six nights.
With interest expected to be high, tickets for six of the events will go on sale on Saturday (February 10).
This year's highlights include an appearance by radical theatre company Red Ladder, a cabaret act featuring the music of Victoria Wood and a return visit from actor Barrie Rutter (pictured below)

This summer’s programme will see Newby Hall as a new location for festival favourites and open-air theatre specialists Illyria and the garden at the Old Deanery will also provide a backdrop for theatre al fresco when it hosts the Sunday night Shakespearean finale.

Full details of all the festival’s plans including street theatre, pop-up events and free family activities will be announced at the official launch on Thursday 21 March.
