Join us on Saturday 26th April for a special Halal Food Tour of Halifax Borough Market, followed by Chai and Bakes with local recipe developer and baker Rooji the Foodie!

This food tour is designed for visitors following a Halal diet. It is a subsidised tour as part of Culturedale – Calderdale’s Year of Culture Celebrations.

Join us for a guided walking food tour of Halifax Borough Market, sampling Halal dishes from some of the market’s best eateries and hidden gems, served up by local independent market traders. Over 2.5 hours, you’ll learn about the market’s rich history, plus taste a range of savoury and sweet goods from around the world. The tour will culminate in Chai and homemade bakes made by Rooji the Foodie. Soak up the good vibes in the Market with a Chai, whilst also hearing some of Rooji’s story on how she developed a love for baking and perfected her recipes which she also shares as recipe e-cards on her website.
