As part of the festival, the market will also be joining in the world’s biggest coffee morning on Friday in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Councillor Asghar Khan, Leeds City Council’s deputy executive member with responsibility for markets, said: “Kirkgate Market is such a fantastic landmark in our city and so it’s great to celebrate it and all the market traders within it. It promises to be a fantastic few days for all ages to enjoy.”
