The Ripon Inn is looking forward to the summer as much as we are. As Red Carpet Sponsors of RTF 2024 and a venue for pop-up performances across the festival weekend, the hotel is getting into the festival spirit.
The Ripon Inn, opened in October 2023 following an extensive, multi-million-pound refurbishment of the former Ripon Spa Hotel. An elegant Edwardian building in a great location, The Ripon Inn is continuing a purpose it has filled for more than 100 years. The hotel is one of a stunning portfolio of award-winning sites owned by proud northern company The Inn Collection Group.
Andrew Robson from The Inn Collection shares our belief that the theatre festival is good for Ripon:
“It draws visitors into the city, generating footfall. As an accommodation provider, working with the festival to promote our offering and encourage attendees to spend more time in the city is important. As a recently opened venue offering food and drinks, it is equally important to promote ourselves with festival audiences from close by. Early indications are that we see this as a partnership for the long term and likely to grow in the coming years.”
The Inn Collection works closely with local businesses and charities in the areas it serves. From Ripon Races, the Community Poppy Project and Ripon Theatre Festival, the Ripon Inn ties in with the city’s vibrant events and activities. Andrew says, “we are keen to support events that are important to the local community and that fit with our key customer segments.”
Tickets are now on sale for Trunk Tales – a family tea-time family theatre show in the Garden Marquee at the Ripon Inn on Friday 5 July. And the hotel will also be joining in with events and activities at the Family Day on Sunday 7 July.
Thanks to The Inn Collection and to Daniel and the team on the ground at The Ripon Inn for their support of RTF 2024.
