This year Kirkstall Mini-Festival will be a little different to a normal year. There will be performance and stalls, though there’s limited numbers and visitors need to buy tickets.
While the Festival is always family-friendly, this year the focus will be on providing entertainment and games for children. Within the Abbey itself we will have games, stalls, and food. No alcohol will be on sale and no alcohol will be allowed to be brought on site.
There’s four different sessions and visitors might be wondering what makes them different. The following is provisional and may change before the Festival:
Saturday 10th July 2021.Saturday 10th July 2021 – 10am to 2pm
This session features Phoenix Concert Band, Otley Ukulele Orchestra, and Music From The Attic, along with buskers around the grounds.
Saturday 10th July 2021 – 3pm to 7pm
Leeds Youth Jazz Rock Orchestra take the lead with Cragg Hill Blues Band and Music From the Attic to follow. During this session no one will attempt to persaude Festival Chair John to sing.
Sunday 11th July 2021 – 10am to 2pm
Sunday morning begins with Festival regulars City of Leeds Youth Wind Orchestra, Mutton Chops and Music From The Attic.
Sunday 11th July 2021 – 3pm to 7pm
