A WORLD TOGETHER 12 noon to 6pm There will be different performance spaces located in the park where visitors can have a dance or listen to music, stories and songs from folk to gospel, Bhangra to tea dances. The DanceFloor will feature Ragroof showing some of the great dances from the 20s, 30s and 40s, and, for those who need it, teaching the steps so that participants can all get up and have a go at tripping the light fantastic themselves. Ragroof will be joined by local groups Africa for All and Manasamitra. On the MusicStage there will be Skavolution playing their unique mix of skiffle and reggae ska music, The Masti Dancers, Silinder, supported by his Bhangra band Pardesi, Mighty Zulu Nation, Shubhra and a fashion show sponsored by Suits Me. In the SongSpace Satellites Arts will tell stories from around the world, joined by the Seventh Day Adventist Youth Gospel Choir, folk musicians from North Kirklees and EcCo, a choir of young people and families from the Colne Valley. One of the highlights of the day is the Have A Go Marquee, where visitors can make jewellery, paint on silk, watch Kentee weaving, make masks, hold rainforest animals, not only the snails, practice their circus skills and much more. Starchaser from Manchester will be showing families how to make their own space rocket and launch it into the stratosphere - from Huddersfield to the stars! . |

French Continental Market The very best of French charcuterie, Dutch and French cheeses, German Sausages, a great variety of garlic and vegetables, French African Art, Italian Leather and a host of other delights to tempt the most discerning purses. Biscuits from Britanny, olives from Europe’s sunny south, delicious French honey and jams, and much more. Perhaps the focal point of the entire market is the finest mobile boulangerie in Europe. Four large ovens bake on site, so you can savour the aroma of fresh baked croissants, pain chocolate and patisseries. Many stallholders will offer samples so that visitors can try before they buy. The market is open from 9.00am to 5.30pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday and from 10am to 4pm Sunday. |

Holmfirth Festival of Folk Another excellent festival is planned for Holmfirth in 2008. Plans are well advanced for the next Holmfirth Festival of Folk with lots of excellent artists in the process of being confirmed. The Picturedrome will be booking some top line artists. Under consideration at the moment are The Family Mahone for Saturday and the Levellers for Sunday. CragRats will be joining in again and the likely guests are Quicksilver. These will all be ticket events, available from the venues. Among guests to be seen in the pubs of Holmfirth are Mike Silver & Johnny Coppin, Pete Morton, Sara Grey, Meridian, Steve & Kristi Nebel, Paul & Liz Davenport, Roger Davies, Alun Parry Band, Treebeard with Paul Pearson, Hamish Curry, FYRISH, Gerry McNeice, Ray Padgett and Rocks and Reels. Climax Ceilidh Band will be playing for the Saturday Ceilidh and of course it wouldn’t be Holmfirth without the Good Egg Band for the Family Ceilidh on Sunday. Following the success of last year’s Poetry events we are expanding this aspect and contributing to the spoken word part of the festival will be poet extraordinaire Les Barker and singer and storyteller Nick Hennessey. Folk traders will join the regular craft traders in the market hall on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May. Goods on sale include handmade clogs, clothing, jewellery, music and many more Folk and Craft items. |
