SWIMMERS, artists and film fans will all be entertained during a packed programme of events in the Bradford district over the bank holiday weekend.

A favourite event, Saltaire Arts Trail which attractions thousands of visitors, returns tomorrow after a break in 2014.

Following 2013's event, organisers said the popular attraction would take a year off for a period of "intensive period of strategic development" to "create something of truly outstanding interest and quality" for 2015.

The 2015 Arts Trail will include 22 venues and private homes displaying pieces around the World Heritage site and a rural crafts exhibition, including works such as basket weaving and willow sculpting, which will be extended for a tour of the north later this year.

The event runs until Monday.
