Fiona Smith, our Festival Producer for this year's Recorder Festival, has gathered together her expert local knowledge of the area into a handy guide for everyone visiting this weekend. This guide will help you with recommendations of where to eat and shop in Saltaire and the neighbouring areas, as well as places to see and visit to make the most of your trip to this beautiful area. You can find a link to the guide HERE.
