You can find more out about the festival and stay updated about next years here.
My favourite parts of the festival were discovering some brilliant quirky food suppliers, revisiting the Salts Mill, (a must if you are visiting Saltaire!), munching homemade bread and olives and listening to folk music from the bandstand! Here are my faves...
The Salts Mill
Titus Salt brought his vision, inspired by the Italian Renaissance to life by creating the Salts Mill and the surrounding village of Saltaire. The Salts Mill opened in 1853 and soon became the biggest working factory in the world. After the textile industry unfortunately declined, Jonathon Silver bought the almost derelict mill in 1987 and led the transformation of the mill into a vibrant, inspirational centre for arts and crafts that it is today.
You can potter around the quirky shops full of the area's homegrown talent, enjoy some lunch at one of the restaurants or rent a flat and live in this vibrant area!
Streatza - Woodfired Pizzeria
This is such a brilliant concept. I'm a foodie at heart and hate the usual processed food burger vans and that are often associated with festivals and outdoor events. Streatza, the woodfired pizzeria serves a selection of freshly cooked, delicious wood fired pizzas from a retro style kitchen on wheels! The thought behind this concept is brilliant, handwritten chalk boards, vibrant advertisements and a cool van serving a brilliant pizza. Perfect for outdoor country weddings, parties or village fetes! Follow Streatza on Facebook or Twitter!

The Greedy Bassets Kitchen (nice site too!)
Another lovely foodie concept - Yorkshires own innovative catering company which was creating a buzz around its fab fish and chips at the festival. The whole fishing theme looked fantastic and when I've come to visit the site and read the blog, there is such a lovely story to this business and its so well thought out. The design of the site fits well with how they display their kitchen at events, creating a nice brand. This is an absolutely fantastic idea for summer tipi, yurt or marquee weddings and other outdoor events, I love the fact they are Yorkshire based too!
