For the second year running Kirkstall Festival was sun-kissed and scorching hot as thousands flocked to Kirkstall Abbey and its grounds.
The community came together for a day of performances, food, drink and community stalls as people braved the latest heatwave.
Here’s a slideshow of photos from Kelvin Wakefield:
