We are the Farsley Community Initiative

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about us!

All aspects of the Farsley Festival are organised by a group of hardworking local volunteers who care for the area.

This team form the committee of the Farsley Community Initiative (FCI) – a local (constituted) group.  The group was formed in 2013 to enable the Farsley Festival to be sustainable but also to support the initiation of other local community groups (by sharing core essentials e.g. banking and constitution model).

Other groups currently under the umbrella of the Farsley Community Initiative are:

Farsley Farmer’s Market
