The brand new event features music, dance and crafts from around the world.

Kirklees Council's cabinet member for leisure and neighbourhood services, Coun Liz Smaje, said: "A World Together is a family event where visitors, young and old alike, can come along for a day packed with activities and entertainment.

"You can have a dance, listen to music, make a rocket, hold a giant snail, make a mask and much, much more."

There will be different performance spaces located in the park where visitors can have a dance or listen to music, stories and songs from folk to gospel, Bhangra to tea dances.

The DanceFloor will feature Ragroof showing some of the great dances from the '20s, '30s and '40s, and, for those who need it, teaching the steps so that people can get up and have a go at tripping the light fantastic themselves. Ragroof will be joined by local groups Africa for All and Manasamitra.

On the MusicStage there will be Skavolution playing their unique mix of skiffle and reggae ska music, The Masti Dancers, Silinder, supported by his Bhangra band Pardesi, Mighty Zulu Nation, Shubhra and a fashion show sponsored by Suits Me.

In the SongSpace Satellites Arts will tell stories from around the world, joined by the Seventh Day Adventist Youth Gospel Choir, folk musicians from North Kirklees and EcCo, a choir of young people and families from the Colne Valley.

One of the highlights of the day is the Have A Go Marquee, where visitors can make jewellery, paint on silk, watch Kentee weaving, make masks, hold rainforest animals – not only the snails – practice their circus skills and much more.

Starchaser from Manchester will be showing families how to make their own space rocket and launch it into the stratosphere.
