The Event

As part of the broader Calderdale Festival of Food running from September 7th to 20th, EGN Ministries has partnered with Calderdale Council to host a special community culinary event on Saturday, September 12th. Held at Thorn Tree Street in Halifax, Yorkshire (HX1 3PH), this gathering features a public food sale serving dish favourites like Chicken Biryani, Chicken 65, and Mango Lassi.

What to Expect

Beyond the food sale, attendees can sign up via Eventbrite to take part in hands-on, interactive food experiences, including cake decoration and traditional appam (rice pancake) making. These sessions offer a chance to get stuck in, learn a new skill, and enjoy the company of neighbours old and new — all set against the buzz of a street full of delicious aromas and community spirit.

Why Come Along

Whether you are after a brilliant plate of biryani, keen to try your hand at appam-making, or simply looking for a fun, welcoming day out for the whole family, there's something here for everyone. It's a relaxed, low-cost way to spend a Saturday, discover new flavours, and meet people from across Calderdale.

Our Aims

This event is about more than food — it's about building bridges. Our aims are to:

Celebrate and share South Asian food culture with the wider Calderdale community

Build cross-cultural awareness and understanding through shared experiences

Bring families together for a fun, accessible day out

Strengthen community ties in Halifax through hands-on participation, not just spectating
