Silsden Proms on the Farm returns after five year break

After an extended break because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Silsden Proms on the Farm event is returning this coming weekend.

The event has a new venue, and a new organising team with representatives from the Silsden and Steeton Sue Ryder Manorlands Support Group and Silsden Methodist Church.

It takes place on Saturday 16th July on the riverside field on Keighley Road in Silsden, with proceeds from the evening going to Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and the work of Silsden Methodist Church in supporting the local community.

The event features music from the Tewit Silver Band, Swing City Big Band and the 1960 Four, as well as soloists Sarah Halstead and April Grime. Rombalds Radio's own Stuart Clarkson will be the compere for the evening too!

The 13th annual Silsden Proms on the Farm took place in 2016 at Sycamore Farm in Brunthwaite and raised £18,000 for the two charities. A return had been planned for 2020 and then again 2021 but the pandemic meant it had to be cancelled.

A spokesperson for the event said: "Finally after two cancellations due to Covid we are pleased to say that we can go ahead and raise some much-needed money for charity.

"We hope the Proms' previous supporters will see that we’ve kept the special feel and format very similar. There will be the traditional ‘Last Night of the Proms’ music so don't forget your flags!”

Attendees can book a space to erect a gazebo or bring a chair for a place in the main arena. Picnics are encouraged as there will be no food or drink available on the site.

A prize will also be awarded for the 'best dressed gazebo'.

Gates open to set up gazebos from 2pm onwards, with the entertainment scheduled for between 6.30pm and 11pm.

In addition to the musical entertainment, there will be an auction, raffle and bottle tombola stall to help to boost charity funds during the evening.

Raffle and auction prizes can be viewed in advance at promsonthefarm.co.uk/

Tickets can be purchased using the link above or from Twigg's Newsagents in Silsden.
