Kirkstall Art Trail & Other Travels.
Posted by Johnny Lord on
This month saw the return of the annual Kirkstall Festival and then the Kirkstall Art Trail. These are two great events held in the Kirkstall area of Leeds. The Festival is the biggest community run festival in England and it has been going for decades.
