Overview

Our annual ramble through the historic streets of Saltaire to view the festive window art in windows of some of Saltaire's landmarks. A great way to get in the mood for Christmas. To be followed by a pint in one of Saltaire's locals.

The start point is the Shipley college building right next to the entrance to Saltaire train station. Weather permitting, we will start with a stroll along the canal before heading through the streets.

Please bring a head torch if available, although your walk leader will also have one if needed.

Saltaire has several train services from Leeds and Bradford. There are also ample parking opportunities in Saltaire itself.

Total walk distance is between 2 and 3 miles, and we should be wrapped up by 9:30pm at the latest.
