Wharfest returns to Granary Wharf this weekend

SALT Granary Wharf, The Hop and Archies are all joining forces for a one day festival.

Kicking off from 3pm and continuing late into the night, Ossett Brewery is set to host the twelfth edition of its huge waterside food, drink and musical Wharfest this weekend.

Taking place at one of Leeds most tranquil city centre spots, organisers are promising an unforgettable afternoon of live music between free-flowing drinks and plenty of good food down at Granary Wharf.

Organisers have promised an electric mix of soul, motown, funk, chart and party music from live performers, DJs and a saxophonist each taking the stage at three bar venues down by the waterside.

From 3pm, expect Dylan Brierley, an alternative/indie guitarist and singer-songwriter from Leeds to return for another year, performing on a bill with names like Tom Masters, Millie Christie and Tom Silcox and Chris Kramer at Salt Granary Wharf, with live music kicking off from 3pm.

Meanwhile at The Hop, returning favourite modern indie rock band Mossie Band will be back from 3pm, with additional performances with Umlaut, Funk Puppies and Bad Asteroids.

Archies will be offering a DJ and Sax performance rather than live bands, but their eclectic mix will bring together Soul, Motown, Funk, Chart and Party tunes inside the bar and kitchen space.
