Yardfest

 Saltaire Festival 2019
As well as a series of Open Gardens around the village, the Saltaire Festival encourages 'pop-up' events, where people can provide refreshments, sell their wares or explore and educate visitors about a hobby or interest. This year there were Mexican breakfasts, the history of gin, poetry, letterpress printing and specimens of 150m-year-old fossils from the Yorkshire coast, among the varied offerings. For several years, some neighbours on George Street have hosted 'Yardfest'. They close the road and provide live music, food from Edward Street Bakery and drinks from the Cap and Collar, a local bar. There's stuff for the kids to do and it usually ends up with people dancing in the street. All good fun.
