Janine GriffithsResidents are being invited to enjoy a day of community activities when the Burmantofts Community Festival takes place at Haslewood Park next month.
The festival will be held on Saturday 13 June at Haslewood Park, LS9 7UZ, with activities running from 12pm until 4pm.
Organisers are preparing for a family-friendly event aimed at children and families, bringing together performers, activity providers, concession stalls and community organisations.
Set-up will begin from 9am, with all event vehicles required to leave the site before the festival opens to the public. Visitors will be able to access the event from midday, with activities continuing throughout the afternoon.
A range of information stalls, concessions and activities are expected to be part of the festival, alongside scheduled performances during the day.
Organisers have also put safeguarding arrangements in place, with a dedicated lost children’s point located at the Project Hope marquee.
The festival will conclude at 4pm, with site clear-up and vehicle access resuming later in the afternoon.

East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
