A 108-foot ferris wheel is now in place in Ripon ahead of the Easter holidays.
The 33-metre attraction, which is being called 'Ripon's Big Sky Wheel, is located in the city’s market square and will be available to ride from tomorrow (Saturday).
It's been co-ordinated by North Yorkshire Council’s Parks and Open Spaces Team and Ripon BID after successful stints at Harrogate's Christmas Fayre.
Situated on the south side of the Market Square, the Ripon Big Sky Wheel will be open daily from 11am to 7pm until Saturday 27th April.
Those wanting to ride the wheel and take in sights of the city will be charged £7 per adult and £5 for children (under 1.4m tall).
Lilla Bathurst, Manager of Ripon BID, said:
"There are no advanced bookings available so just turn up and enjoy the historic sights of Ripon as you have never seen them before!
“Bring friends and family and see the amazing views from this fantastic attraction.
"With the Ripon Big Sky Wheel set to stand higher than the obelisk expect to be able to see over the whole of Ripon and beyond."
She added:
"We very much hope that this new addition for the 2025 Easter holidays will draw in visitors from a large catchment area, increasing dwell time and spend whilst encouraging them to discover all of Ripon’s wonderful businesses."
The wheel will not be operating in adverse weather conditions and can close to the public at short notice in such circumstances.
