Join us in the magnificent Ripon Cathedral for an evening of fantastic music celebrating 80 years since Victory in Europe Day.

Organized by

Our group started initially in 2017 making poppy displays to commemorate one hundred years of the ending of WW1. We had such a response from the local community and beyond we ended up with some 65,000 poppies that we sewed onto netting for displays. When we first set up the group we had definite aims,

• To commemorate 100 years since the ending of WW1.

• To try to increase the footfall into Ripon in order to help hard pressed businesses.

• To try to help to bring our community together, and help to prevent isolation.
