Ripley Star Club, Ripley

About us

The Star Club was formed in 1948 but the building ("Hotel de Ville") has been in community use since its completion by the Ingilby family in the 1850's. The billiard cup that we compete for annually was presented in 1913 by Major W.H. Ingilby to the "Ripley Mechanics and Literary Institute". The Ripley Castle Estate still own the building and Sir Thomas Ingilby is the club president and main sponsor.

The Star Club SignThe Star Club gets its name from the Ingilby coat of arms. Sir Thomas explains that a star was used to signify purity and closeness to God. Some may think this is an appropriate symbol for the club, others may have their doubts!

Went to an antiques fair here. Had a lovely time. Lots of bargains and very friendly and helpful staff. The bacon and egg butties are incredible. Set in a wonderful location with nice walks for the dog. It is a very welcoming place and the ice-cream is delicious. The castle is well worth a visit. There's lots of little gift shops dotted around and the pork pies from the shop are absolutely delicious. The butcher which is located down a little lane is well worth visiting, the hand made chicken parmos are the best I have ever had.
