Saltaire Festival


The So and So's Jazz Band Each year in September, Saltaire holds a major festival. The church supports this by making its premises and grounds available for festival events and puts on some events of its own. It is an excellent time to visit Saltaire and the church. For detailed events in the festival see www.saltairefestival.co.uk

The King James Bible 400th Anniversary celebration

The anniversary of the most well known version of the bible, though now replaced by bibles in more modern english, was celebrated in 2011 by readings of some of the best known passages and an exhbition of art inspired by a verse from the bible.

The art forms that were on display encompassed photography, paintings, drawings and tapestry and stitch work.

The wide variety of work was supplied by members of the Saltaire United Reformed Church and other members of the Yorkshire Synod who were inspired by particular verses.
