We are very much looking forward to this week’s Thursday lunchtime concert with organist Archie Davies, playing music by J. S. Bach, Howells, Demessieux & Langlais.

Archie is Senior Organ Scholar at Ripon Cathedral and we are thrilled to hear that he will take up the position of Organ Scholar at Gloucester Cathedral in September! Currently sitting his A levels, Archie has taken some time out for this week’s recital which will take place at 1pm in our Medieval quire.

Before heading off to Gloucester Archie has three more recitals at Leeds Minster, Howden Minster and St Mary's Church, Thirsk.

Archie joined Ripon Cathedral Choir when he was eight and we couldn’t be prouder of what he has achieved.

Our Thursday concerts are free with a retiring collection. Light refreshments are served from 12.30pm, please help us look after the fabric of our building by consuming food and drink before taking a seat.
