A vibrant international street market will take over Beastfair in Pontefract next month with 25 traders bringing a diverse selection of global products from sweets to savoury delights.

Pontefract is set to become a foodie paradise from April 3 to April 6 as the popular Continental Street Market returns, bringing a vibrant mix of international flavours to the town centre.

From sizzling street food to artisan cheeses and handcrafted sweet treats, visitors will have the chance to taste their way around the world without leaving Yorkshire.

Coun Michael Graham, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Growth, said: "We’re delighted to welcome back the Continental Street Market to Pontefract. Events like this not only bring exciting global flavours to our doorstep but also help support local businesses by drawing more visitors into the town.

The market is part of a district-wide series, with upcoming events in Wakefield and Castleford.
