Halifax’s own music festival celebrating grassroots acts takes place this month.

Venues across the town centre will host a jam-packed line-up of performers, talks, exhibitions and more between October 13 and 16.

The festival is being curated by The Grayston Unity, and some of the performances will take place there, as well as at Meandering Bear, Temperance Movement and Albany Arcade in Halifax Borough Market.

Michael Ainsworth from The Grayston Unity said he has always wanted to arrange a festival like this, and he is confident it will increase and move footfall around the town.

Many of the events are free.
