“The event itself will also be great for the local community and showcase the diversity of food businesses in the Calderdale area and especially within the Park and Warley wards. It will also support the borough’s continued economic recovery from COVID-19 and it will be great to see communities come together once again to enjoy a celebration of culture and world food.”

The Flavourfest event is part of the Park and Warley Inclusive Economy Project, a pilot project testing how local investment and can build community wealth and increase economic activity in the area.
