A festival for our community
Our Community + Connection Festival is a chance to bring the NWY ASBAH community together – to reconnect with familiar faces, make new connections, try something different and simply enjoy spending time together.
​
We’ve designed the day to be welcoming, relaxed and inclusive, with lots of different ways to take part.
Stay all day or pop in for a while. Join in with everything or just enjoy a cuppa and a chat. Come as you are – and make the day your own.
Meet some of our special guests
​We’ve invited some brilliant special guests and entertainers to join us for the day. Wherever possible, we’ve chosen people and organisations with connections to North and West Yorkshire – bringing local talent, experience and plenty of energy to our Festival.
