A BRADFORD street is set to become a colourful and cultural bazaar next month in the hope of boosting local trade during Eid.

Eid Souk, hosted at Karmand Community Centre on Barkerend Road, will connect residents with the district's less well-known businesses.

Some of the stallholders include Chaiiwali, an authentic tea shop on Little Horton Lane; Noors Designer Gallery, a high end wedding attire brand; Pakeezah Food2Go and many more.

Organiser Maryha Ilyas, who grew up in the BD3 area, said: "As the Muslim festival of Eid is approaching, many Muslims spend the days and night shopping in local bazaars and shops.

"As there are many businesses who do not have the opportunity to open shops or sell from home, Eid Souk will be their chance to book a stall and showcase what they do.

"We want the people of Bradford to come together and celebrate what Bradford has to offer all under one roof.

"We want to be able to support these small businesses to get their name out there."

Established singer Asif Khan will perform classic Pakistani songs while Harris Hussain, a young Bradford boy making his mark on the boxing world, will show off his skills.

High profile cars, including a Lamborghini and Rolls Royce, will be driven down on the day - courtesy of Ace Star Limousines and Grand Chauffeuring.

The 23-year-old said: "It's a means of businesses showing the cars what they've got and for little children to see them.

"There's something for ladies, something for children and something for men.

"Everyone's invited.

"It's not just for the Asian community.

"It's for all genders, ages, communities and ethnicities.

"It's open for all."

There will also be two raffle prizes with the opportunity to win a designer wedding dress from Design Quarter, another leading Asian wedding brand based on Leeds Road.

Miss Ilyas explained the event revolves around the ideology behind 'Chaand Raat'.

She said: "It basically means night of the moon.

"The main goal is to support the community - people who haven't got the means to go out there and sell what they've got; people who haven't got the advertising; for the boxer to bring his name out establish himself; for the car owners to show people can come to them."

The street market takes place between 12 and 8pm on Saturday, August 10.

Miss Ilyas, who has recently launched her own events company, Eventions, said: "It's by the local people for the local people.

"It's not only for the people doing stalls, I'm trying to get my name out as well.

"Families can come together under one roof, do their shopping, socialise, network with other business owners and just enjoy themselves and have a good family day out."
