The sun is SHINING and there is loads going on in Halifax this weekend!
So pack up your sun cream, gather the kids and head outdoors for a good dose of food, music and Vitamin D!
Come hungry and take your pic from the fantastic vendors filling up Woolshops, Corn Market and Russell Street. As well as tantalising your tastebuds with treats to eat now and fill up your pantry, you can watch live cookery demonstrations and attend a workshop.
The kids will love it with face painting, balloon modelling, a comedy chef and a henna artist!
There will be grilled food, desserts, wines, bread, ice cream, olives, vegan options and much more.
