Things to do on Saturday near Ripon (N Yorks) - 4 adults and a 6y

[Hulababy]

We are going to a wedding this weekend in the Ripon area.

The service is at Ripon register office at 10:30am, followed by a meal at a pub a few miles out of Ripon. No idea what time meal is but presumably around 12-12:30pm. There is then an evening do starting, I guess, around 7pm or so.

So, we have a few hours to waste in the middle of the day - possibly around 5-6 hours I guess.

Will be me, DH, PILs and 6yo DD.

Obviusly don't want to go anywhere for food as will have eaten/be due to eat.

Any suggestions?

TIA

We will take a change of clothes. Will get changed at place where having the meal; then rechanged later on. Don't want wedding clothes on all day.

you could alternativelu go ans visit myPILS

We went to Fountains Abbey yesterday and it was fab!! We found a really long tunnel which the river trickles through and you can walk through - quite an adventure!!

The kids also enjoyed the Serpentine tunnel too....we are dying to go Forbidden Corner - what age group would people say it was best for? Our girls are 4 and 2....

Another vote for Forbidden corner and Brimham Rocks

Laundrylover, I'd prob give it another year, your 2 year old might struggle a bit. It really is fab, first time we went ours were 4 and 7ish. Quite a lot of it is underground, some a little scary but even when its not actually scary there is always that feeling of anticipation which i find more scary than anything else!

hello squonk...hows you good i hope!

All good here, if a little chaotic! hairybaby no 2 is 9 months now and im back to work in 2 weeks (will then have more time to mumsnet in my lunch hour )

Thanks Theresa...next year it will be then. Sounds fab!

My friend's DH manages Brimham Rocks so we really must try and get over there.

Weather forecast for Saturday is heavy rain

Fingers crossed then
