It doesn’t matter whether you are eight or 80, if you live in the Minster Ward of Ripon you are invited to attend the next ‘My Neighbourhood’ event.
All are welcome at Generations 2013 which is being held from 11.00 am on Saturday, 23 March 2013.
Events are taking place in Ripon Library at the Workhouse Museum, the Courthouse Museum and the Prison and Police Museum. And it’s all free – no need to book, just drop in.
You will be able to experience the sights and sounds of the 40s right up to the present day, there will be fun activities for children, adults and older people and lots of help and advice on staying healthy by eating healthily on a budget.
