Good evening everyone, it's Bren.
Saltaire's nine day festival begins on Saturday and it's the perfect weekend to bring the family for food, drink, activities, exhibitions and of course, music!

It's a packed schedule at the Bandstand Stage on 12th and 13th so I hope you'll come down and support these Bradford acts.
See you there!

All listings for the full nine day festival are at www.saltairefestival.co.uk including dance classes, comedy night, poetry, open gardens, piano village, jazz evening... the list goes on so don't stay home, come and celebrate the UNESCO World Heritage site of Saltaire!

Please share our posts so that none of your friends can say 'I didn't know it was on!'
Thank you.
