Guiseley Festival is set to attract more than 5,000 people again this year with its spectacular line-up of events.

This will be the third year of the festival and already the programme is bursting with exciting attractions and challenges.

Highlights include Garden-ers Quest-ion Time, a Brain of Guiseley quiz and a folk concert.

The festival will be focused around the first two weeks in July but some events will begin at the end of June with an art exhibition.

It will officially open with Guiseley Carnival on Sunday, June 29, and an art exhibition will be held at Guiseley Methodist Church the same weekend.

Organiser Richard Hughes-Rowlands said: "We are trying to put something on every night of the festival. This is the third annual Guiseley Festival, last year the event attracted more than 5,000 people we hope there will be even more this time.

"We are hoping it will be very successful because we have tried to provide something for everyone's taste this time.

"Most of the events are free, apart from the quiz, where there is a small charge for pie and peas."

A craft fair will be held pn Friday, July 4, to Sunday, July 6, and the Hope Theatre Group will be performing 'Philocletes' from Wednesday, July 9, at Guiseley Parish Church.

Gardeners Question Time will be held on Friday, July 11, at Guiseley Theatre and a folk concert will be on at Guiseley Football club and a Brain of Guiseley master quiz challenge contest.

Other events include a wine-tasting evening, visits from famous authors and an antiques valuation evening by a presenter from the television series 'Floggit'.

A poetry competition is also going to be held for local schoolchildren.
