The idea of the Headingley Festival originated from a desire to bring our community together through the focus of music and celebration.

The festival originated as the winning proposal in a 'Dragon's Den' style competition held during the AGM of Headingley Development Trust (HDT) early last year. The festival will take place from 3rd-9th May 2010, during which local businesses are planning a unified week of promotions. The climax of this week will then be a festival of music and arts taking place over the weekend and running alongside Headingley Development Trust's monthly Farmers' Market.

Through fun and celebration of our local community the festival aims to widen the perception of Headingley in Leeds
