Ripon's Christmas video will be released tomorrow - and it features a cameo from Badger the cat!

It was a viral sensation last year, and now it's back - a new Ripon Christmas video has been filmed, and it will be released tomorrow, Friday.

More than 30 Ripon businesses, charities and community organisations have taken part in a city-wide cover of the 12 Days of Christmas, including the Ripon Gazette, and the lyrics have been changed to have a Ripon theme. From hornblowers to the city’s three rivers, the song aims to capture what makes Ripon great.

And it even features an adorable cameo from Ripon's beloved cat Badger. All of the organisations taking part have been filmed singing their lines, and the organiser of the project, Ripon resident Lily Worth, hopes that the video will generate as much interest as last year, when more than 20,000 people watched the city’s cover of Wizzard’s I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.
