MEMBERS of an Indian community in Keighley have showcased their culture to the town.

Families from the Kerala region of South India invited people from across Keighley to a day of art and food.

Many people went along to Central Hall to sample traditional cuisine and watch performances including dance.

The event organised by Keighley Malayalee Association, which is made with about 50 Kerala families who have come to the town over the past decade.

Many members of the community came the UK to work in the health field, including jobs at Airedale Hospital.

Sojan Mathew, one of the organisers, said there was an “amazing” response to the day, which was the association’s first event of its type.

The event, at Central Hall in Alice Street, was opened by the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Coun Mike Gibbons.
