This vibrant, living church has an unbroken history reaching back to the 7th century serving the small city of Ripon and the vast rural county of North Yorkshire. Music and choirs enrich the services and remain at the centre of many acts of worship.

- The Choral Scholars sing Wednesdays and two Sunday services (fortnightly)
Our Choristers
Our choristers benefit from a musical education second to none, which is free! Being a chorister offers children a life-changing opportunity, helping to improve resilience, self-discipline and self-confidence.
Rehearsals take place before or after school several days a week and parents/carers need to be willing to commit to the full choral schedule!
