Horsforth\u2019s finest Old Skool Anthems were in fine form on Saturday night at The Old Kings Arms, with a gig raising money for the 2026 Walk Of Art.<\/p>\n

After a special warm up DJ got the crowd in the mood Old Skool Anthems performed a selection of banging 90\u2019s tunes, with a side helping of cheese, with all monies raised from ticket sales going towards next years Walk of Art events.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kezia Roberts, Old Skool Anthems songstress and one of the organisers of Horsforth\u2019s Walk Of Art\u00a0<\/a>told WLD how the money would be put to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight is all about celebrating Christmas in the 90\u2019s,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve got my mum\u2019s black bin bag full of presents with me ready to give out to all the good boys and girls. We\u2019ve got some goodie bags. It\u2019ll just be an absolute laugh really. We\u2019re playing all the absolute rave and dance anthems of the 90\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Walk of Art is an annual event in Horsforth, but it\u2019s actually grown its wings a bit, we\u2019ve got people coming from all over the world, which is amazing. It\u2019s an opportunity for artists local and not so local to showcase their art in kind of unusual places around Horsforth. And this is the fundraiser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money raised will go to lots of outreach around Horsforth. The exciting thing about getting money for the walk of Art is that we can pay artists to go into schools because obviously the first that goes is unfortunately the money that goes towards creativities. So there\u2019s less creativity or the opportunity to do creativity in schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we say nay to that and we send in a lot of our artists into the schools to work with them to create things for the Walk of Art and hopefully they come away thinking \u2018I want to do something creative with my life\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past ten years we\u2019ve seen it happen again and again and again that if kids have been engaged within creativities and the arts they actually want to do more of it, for themselves, for health. And it\u2019s not just kids it\u2019s adults as well, it\u2019s getting adults involved in creativities. When they say they can\u2019t I\u2019m here to say you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Horsforth Walk of Art is a free creative festival involving and organised by members of the local community. The theme <\/a>for the 2026 event is \u201cBack to my routes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye out to for the Christmas Countdown windows around Horsforth. Local churches, groups, businesses and residents have been busy creating festive window displays across the town, with a new one revealed each day up to Christmas Eve, raising funds for the 2026 Walk of Art.\u00a0<\/p>\n
