More 1,500 people attended the event at Morley Cricket Club, held for the first time since 2019 after two cancelled festivals due to the pandemic.

Around 50 volunteers ensured the three-day event, held between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, ran smoothly as the crowds gathered to enjoy live music and street food at the club on Scatcherd Lane.
