BRADFORD’S Intercultured Festival is back and staging four family-friendly creative workshops in Keighley’s Airedale Shopping Centre this Saturday (October 30).

The festival aims to highlight the district's diversity through cultural performances, workshops, interventions and conversations.

Founder Mussarat Rahman said: "Bradford has a rich history of cultures and communities moving into the area. I feel like we have a beautiful cultural melting pot and such lovely diverse communities within our district. My focus has been trying to provide a platform for them."

The festival, held in collaboration with BIASAN (Bradford Immigration and Asylum Seekers Support and Advice Network), has teamed- up with Keighley Creative and locally-based artists for the Keighley workshops.

The events are free and anyone can attend. Although people are welcome to drop in, booking is recommended.
