Please support our 'repairs & renewals' project to maintain the fabric of this great cathedral!
Ripon Cathedral has been a centre of Christian faith and practice for over 1300 years! It provides spiritual sanctuary, refreshment and inspiration to the many thousands of people who come here every year.

Sadly, however, the cost of fulfilling this role increases every year. Without generous benefactors we would be unable to offer this ministry of hospitality, which is so central to our life and purpose. Your help is vital.
There are so many ways you can help us by suporting the Cathedral.
Why not attend a fundraising event, or become a Patron or Music Custodian? If you wish to suport a specific project, you can make a donation directly to the Music Foundation or the Fabric Fund.
By supporting the work of the Cathedral, you can secure this magnificent place, and all the tradition and heritage it represents, for the benefit of future generations to enjoy.
Over the centuries, generous Church members have left gifts to the Cathedral in their wills. These legacies have been vital in enabling the Cathedral to continue to serve the community.

A new hand-painted Paschal Candle is lit every year on Easter Eve; the five pins represent the five wounds of Christ.
