It wasn’t just about the game. This tournament was about community. It was about people from all walks of life coming together to connect, create and celebrate shared culture.

On 22 July 2025 people from across England came to Keighley to compete in a 24 hour Carrom Board Tournament.

Our Patch had been invited to get involved by the organisers, Lund Park Community Group, and led a creative activity, decorating carrom discs to make into key rings, as well as creating a film of the event.

The tournament was hosted by the Sangat Centre and funded by Keighley Town Council.
