Welcome
to Saltaire Festival 2008
Last
year's Festival was a huge success; many
thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it so, and to all our
Sponsors and Funding
Bodies who generously helped to pay for it. During the 10 days
of the Festival all the events were well attended and much enjoyed.
This
year's Festival is now well into the
planning stage, events in the festival diary include several established
favourites, Saltaire Festival Ball, Opera
Party, Festival Club, & several
visiting Theatre Companies.
Open
mic comedy night joins open mic poetry night, there will be several
lunchtime concerts & the finale weekend will once again host the
Piazza Stage, two days of free music from local bands, the Continental
Street Market (voted best in England by the continental traders themselves)
a Gala, stalls, music and dog show in Roberts Park.
The
SF07 website
received over 17,000 hits over 6 months
& 40,000 attendance for Finale Weekend!
