The best jam makers from across the world are being invited to Newby Hall in Ripon for the annual World Jam Festival.
The annual festival and awards are set to be held in the Grantham Rooms at Newby for the first time on Sunday 28th September.

“We are delighted to announce that the 2025 World Jam Festival & Awards is to be held in the Grantham Rooms at Newby Hall on Sunday 28th September.
“We must give special thanks to Mr and Mrs Richard Compton for making this happen.”
