SUMMARY:Heritage Open Days
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture\, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year for 10 days in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage\, community and history. Stories are told\, traditions explored\, and histories brought to life. It’s offers the public a chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE. \nFrom working lives to cherished rituals\, many events will focus in on this year’s festival theme\, ‘Everyday Histories’ presented by leading family history website Findmypast. You are invited to explore the varied and often overlooked stories of ordinary working people and their daily lives. From factory floors\, workhouses and high streets to kitchens\, schools\, and community centres\, this theme shines a light on working-class voices\, local superheroes and the part-of-the-furniture places that have quietly shaped England’s heritage. \nFind out what’s on at https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/whats-on.html

SUMMARY:KLH Events - Artisan Craft Fair
DESCRIPTION:In response to popular demand — and in partnership with Wakefield District Markets\, with encouragement from Pontefract Civic Society — we’re delighted to bring an Artisan Craft Fair to Pontefract Market Place.\n\nThis marks our first solo venture into outdoor events in Pontefract\, and we’re genuinely excited to take the plunge… even if we’re starting just as the weather begins to turn. But we’re not fair‑weather ladies; unless it’s blowing a gale\, biblical rain\, or ten feet of snow\, we’ll simply put on our big coats and carry on in true Yorkshire fashion.\n\nYou’ll find us once a month on a Friday\, radiating out from Pontefract’s historic Buttercross — bringing makers\, bakers\, artists\, and crafters together in the heart of the town.

SUMMARY:KLH Events Artisan Craft Fair
DESCRIPTION:In response to popular demand — and in partnership with Wakefield District Markets\, with encouragement from Pontefract Civic Society — we’re delighted to bring an Artisan Craft Fair to Pontefract Market Place.\n\nThis marks our first solo venture into outdoor events in Pontefract\, and we’re genuinely excited to take the plunge… even if we’re starting just as the weather begins to turn. But we’re not fair‑weather ladies; unless it’s blowing a gale\, biblical rain\, or ten feet of snow\, we’ll simply put on our big coats and carry on in true Yorkshire fashion.\n\nYou’ll find us once a month on a Friday\, radiating out from Pontefract’s historic Buttercross — bringing makers\, bakers\, artists\, and crafters together in the heart of the town.
