A collaboration between two festivals in Haworth helped both of them to greater success.

The annual Haworth Arts and Music Festival again involved a mix of stage entertainment, workshops and exhibitions.

Also held last weekend was Haworth’s first eco-festival, entitled Fair Intents.

Organisers of Fair Intents asked the arts festival whether they could use the same weekend.

Haworth folk singer Tim Moon, one of the arts organisers, said the link-up benefited both events.

The arts festival based one of its flagship events, the “smallest cinema in the world”, at Fair Intents, in the Brontë Parsonage Museum’s meadow.

In return Fair Intents placed its café in the arts festival’s main venue, the nearby Haworth Old Schoolrooms.

Mr Moon said: “The café really enhanced our attendance. People came in with their kids and they stayed to do our arts activities.” Mr Moon said the festival, which lasted from last Thursday until Sunday, was a success despite being funded solely with a £3,000 grant from Bradford Council.

He said the four evening concerts were well received, including the annual appearance by folk musicians from Cavan, in Ireland.

He said there was wild dancing to world music group Arcomnia, whose audience included people impressed with their performance that afternoon at Fair Intents.

The audience for leading singer-songwriter Roger Davies included two of his German fans who found out about the concert while holidaying in Huddersfield.

Fair Intents attracted about 1,000 people, twice as many as originally expected.

Activities included rubbish modelling, making jewellery from scrap, stone carving, wood turning and bike repairing.

And even the stage performers’ amplification was run off solar power and pedal power.
