Historic venues back in Keighley Festival

Keighley Festival will hold events at Cliffe Castle and East Riddlesden Hall for the first time in more than a decade.
The festival’s annual schools art exhibition, this year the Kabinet of Keighley Kuriosities, will be hosted by Cliffe Castle Museum.
Meanwhile the National Trust hall will be the setting for a day of spooky activities for children.
Another major new event will be a medieval day organised by Cliffe Castle Park Conservation Group.
Keighley Festival spokes-man Malcolm Hanson said he was over the moon that the two visitor attractions were getting involved.
He said: “It’s a big step forward for us. Hopefully Cliffe Castle and East Riddlesden Hall will be in it every year from now on.”
The festival will run from July 5 to 13 and involves more than 50 events including a film festival, tea dance, knitting, curry night, Asian dancing and band concerts.
