Keighley Festival came to an end with a second weekend of glorious weather.

Families revelled in the sun during the annual children's afternoon in Cliffe Castle park last Saturday.

Others put on their glad rags for an evening of songs from the shows in the company of Keighley Amateurs members. There was also the festival's annual grand prix of model car racing in Haworth Community Centre.

The Cliffe Castle jamboree saw professional entertainers provide three hours of comedy, illusion, song and dance.

Amateurs rather than professionals provided entertainment the same evening in a high-class concert at Victoria Hall.

But organisers say the performances of Keighley Amateurs, children and adults, the Holme Singers and the Irene Ogden dancers were nothing short of superb.

Saturday also featured the annual five-a-side football tournament by the Keighley Asian Sports Association.

The arrangements of two Asian cultural events planned for Sunday were changed after the festival programme was printed.

The Naat Khawani Mehfil had been moved to the previous weekend and the Pothohari Sheir was scaled down.

The latter event -- recitals of Punjabi religious poetry -- will be repeated on a larger scale next week.

The Sangat Centre, in Lawkholme, hosted several successful events as part of Keighley Festival.

A Mehfil-E-Naat for men attracted several orators from Pakistan to read religious poetry.

That event, and a similar social evening for women, in which local children read poetry, filled the centre in Marlborough Street.

Also popular were the annual exhibition of Asian art and crafts by local people, and a mendi hand painting afternoon.

Packed-out demonstrations of Bangladeshi and Pakistani cookery attracted people from all sections of the community.
