Save the date, West Leeds! The highly anticipated New Wortley Community Festival is set to take place on Saturday, 19 August, promising a day filled with excitement, creativity, and community spirit.
This festival is a must-attend event for everyone in the area, as it offers a platform for local crafters, artists, and independent makers to showcase their talents.
Crafters and artists, this is your chance to shine! New Wortley Community Centre (NWCC) is particularly interested in welcoming a diverse range of stalls that demonstrate the vibrant artist and makers community in Armley and New Wortley.
Whether you specialise in pottery, jewellery, textiles, or any other craft, this is the perfect opportunity to display your unique creations and captivate the local community with your talent.
Independent makers and artists are also invited to be a part of this vibrant celebration.
If you’re a creative entrepreneur with one-of-a-kind products, take this chance to connect with your local audience and gain exposure. Show off your handmade clothing, original artwork, or prints.
The festival, on Jailey Fields, aims to feature a variety of hot food stalls suitable for a wide range of people, from traditional favourites to exotic cuisines, there will be something to satisfy every palate.
New Wortley Community Centre encourages local food vendors to come forward and grab a stall at the event and share with their wares with the local community in a relaxed and fun setting.
In addition to craft stalls and hot food vendors, the festival invites affordable Farmers Market type stalls, offering fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade preserves, and artisanal products. Let’s support our local economy and ensure the community has access to quality, locally sourced goods.
And it’s not just about the crafting and food, it’s about providing a fun-filled experience for everyone. NWCC are looking for games, activities, and engaging attractions to keep festival-goers entertained throughout the day.
If you have an interactive game or an exciting activity that will bring smiles to faces, seize this opportunity to participate and contribute to the festival’s lively ambiance, then get in touch.
New Wortley Community Festival invites you to set up dedicated information stalls, providing valuable resources to the community and fostering connections in West Leeds.
This is an opportunity to empower and benefit residents. Local businesses, it’s your time to shine too! Showcase your products and services directly to the community and make lasting connections. Come along for a day of fun activities, delicious food, valuable information, youth entertainment, and a captivating performance by Same Difference Theatre Company.
