| Saltaire
Festival History |
| Since
its inauguration in 2003, Saltaire Festival has progressed; experimented
with new ideas. Sir Titus Salt's Bicentenary
& the 150th Anniversary of the opening of Salts
Mill set the ball rolling.. |
|
|
| National
& Regional Arts, Theatre and Musical Performances have made a
dramatic impact in West Yorkshire, since the launch of Saltaire
Festival. Attendances have risen to a total of 30,000 -
just for the Finale Weekend. |
|
|
| The
Inaugural Saltaire Festival hosted more
than 70 events; many family orientated & free! |
|
What
you see below is a 'Look Back' at previous
Festivals, year by year, showing how the Festival has now almost doubled
in size. Thanks to all the Volunteers, Sponsors
& Advertisers who have made this possible. |

'Here

of acts & events on display. Music & Dance took
off in a big way, with Exhibitions at Salts
Mill and Victoria Hall (SALTAIRE:

'Inspiration
For Our Time' created a great buzz for visitors
and residents alike. Maps became more important; we had to show people
how to get here! The Piazza Stage
events outstaged all in West Yorkshire. |

The
best Festival I've ever been to' "Absolutely
everyone is saying: It's just like Bradford Festival used to be.."
' The best weekend I've had in a long time -
can't wait until next year now' -
just a few comments we received as feedback. |
|
'The
Magical Mix' reinforced the emphasis on the stunning
location & architecture, which is Saltaire. The Carnival
Parade, involving local Schools became truly established
as an entity in its own right. |

'The
Magical Re-Mix' confirmed the success of the Festival,
now in its fifth year, as one of the most successful in the UK. The
Arts Trail was a major
factor, along with excellent programming & publicity. |
