By Oliver Gibson –
A new four-day event is coming to Huddersfield later this week.
The ‘Film and Food Fest Huddersfield’ will showcase locally produced short films, giving an invaluable platform to Huddersfield’s independent filmmakers.
The event’s organisers say that the festival will ‘highlight the work of local creatives’ and give audiences an ‘exclusive chance to see some fantastic new cinema.’
Those who attend will also be able to pick up some ‘delicious street food’ from a ‘wide range of local vendors.’ Furthermore, drinks will be available from a range of pop-up bars – so visitors will be able to ‘enjoy a pint, prosecco or speciality cocktail’ before, during or after a film.
Certain films are 15+ and age verification may be required for those screenings. Other films, however, are family-oriented and PG-rated and are open to all.
Standard ticket holders are advised to bring their own blanket or camping chair to sit on due to the event taking place at Greenhead Park. VIP ticket holders, on the other hand, are entitled to a ‘luxury deck chair in a prime position.’
The organisers of the event, Adventure Cinema, also wish to make it known that the event will be ‘safe and socially spacious.’
What’s on the itinerary?

How to get tickets
Tickets, FAQs and more information are available online from the Film and Food Fest website.
£2 from each ticket will be given by the event’s organisers to local film organisations within Huddersfield. This will hopefully provide a much-needed boost after the dry season of last year.
Those who enjoy films and wish to support Huddersfield’s film and media industry should definitely take this event into consideration.
Even those who are not particularly into films might well enjoy a day out or series of days out with high-quality refreshments after the year we’ve all had.
