THERE are still hopes for the Bingley Weekender festival to go ahead, its organisers have said. The event, which began after Bingley Music Live was scrapped, has become a hotly-anticipated date in the calendar. Last year’s festival, from SSD Concerts, had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic and this year’s is tipped to take place between Friday, August 6 and Sunday, August 8. Bingley Weekender filled the void left by Bingley Music Live. Back in April 2019 and after weeks of speculation, Bradford Council announced the hugely popular festival would not be running that year. The Council said at the time that it had taken a “difficult decision” to scrap the festival, which was due to be held in Myrtle Park in late August.
