There’s going to be beer, live music and a celebration of local community at a new festival near Leeds.
In the first restriction-free month since the pandemic began, Sup is bringing West Yorkshire communities together once more with a local festival focusing on beer, food and music.
The beer festival will take place over two weekends, one in Shipley and the other in Bingley and forms part of the ‘Spring Back’ campaign from Bradford City Council.
On Saturday 12 March, Shipley Market Square will be transformed into a foodie fest, with fan-favourite vendors present, including SALT Beer Factory’s award-winning beers and brews from The Triangle, Cap and Collar and The Fox.
Hullabaloo, a Caribbean street food and drink specialist will be on hand to serve up fresh supplies and a collab pop-up of Il Pirata and Mozza Fella will provide that we’re told is the best pizza team-up Bradford has ever seen, with a range of succulent slices to put those carb cravings to bed.
The Bingley event will host a similar set-up with a slight variation to their line-up on Saturday 19 March underneath a huge weatherproof tent. Il Pirata X Mozza Fella and The Triangle will join the Bingley fest, whilst a new selection of cask ales and alcoholic drinks will come from Wishbone Brewery, Goose Eye Brewery and Bini Brewery.
The Peacock provide freshly-cooked Indian street food to the masses.
Organiser Sup has partnered with an array of local DJs across both events who will be playing a mix of upbeat and soulful tunes to keep the crowds going into the evening.
Eddie Kean, Director of Raven Staging, said “I moved to Bradford when I was 9yrs old and my kids go to school in both Shipley and Bingley, so I’m especially excited to stage these events in my home valley and for my own community.
“The focus for these events is to kickstart the year and drive footfall to our high streets by providing a platform to our local community of creators and entrepreneurs. Selecting our partners has been made that much easier by the world class quality of what’s on offer within the Bradford postcode.
“My hope is that the range of exceptional partners at these events will generate an equally great turnout from our local community. If Sup can provide a small celebratory salve for the difficulty we’ve all endured over the past few years, I’ll be a happy man. I look forward to raising a glass to us.”
