About Ripon Theatre Festival
RTF is run by a small team of volunteers. We work together with our funders, venues and community partners to bring colour and culture to all the communities of the city, contributing to Ripon’s development as a vibrant place to live, work and visit.
Our Vision
To bring colour and culture to all the communities of the city, through performance, participation and community celebration.
Our Aims
- To provide high quality, professional performing arts which are not normally available locally, tackling the barriers of access, affordability, geography and perception
- To animate the city’s open spaces and venues, contributing to Ripon’s development as a socially connected and vibrant place to live, work and visit
- To work collaboratively, making the most of local skills and partnerships, developing volunteers and creating participatory opportunities for all of the city’s communities
