A vintage market ran through the town centre featuring delicious food and lots of crafts and live performances kept visitors entertained throughout the two days.

A full-size replica Spitfire was on display along with over 40 vintage military and civilian vintage vehicles. A miniature train and a fairground provided fun for the youngsters.

The annual event is organised by the Brighouse Business Initiative (BBI), a voluntary group of retailers and businesses who develop, organise and manage some of the town’s most popular events.
