When is Brighouse Summer Festival?
It takes place throughout Brighouse town centre on Saturday and Sunday August 19 and 20.
Stalls planned so far:
Around 50 stalls are confirmed so far, including Wine from Luddenden Valley Wines.
Laser cut gifts from All Mapped Out, and wire and metalwork jewellery from Ladear Jewellery in Elland.
Other stalls will sell everything from artisan breads, cheeses, fresh fruit and vegetables to sock monkeys to soap.
There are also street food kitchens and street bars.
What else can you expect to see:
There will be canal boat rides, live music, miniature steam train rides, vintage vehicles and fun-fair rides.
