From the publisher · Saltaire · BD18
A guide, kept close to the ground.
Saltaire Guide is an independent local guide for Saltaire and Shipley, published by Pacavita, a digital agency based in the village. Guides are written, directory entries verified and news posts checked on foot here — not from a newsroom in another city. Corrections come from the people who live, work and walk these streets, and we treat that as the best editorial line we have.
What you'll find
Three kinds of thing, and nothing else.
Guides
On foot, not on a press release.
Practical guides to parking, walks, Salts Mill and Roberts Park. Timings, step-free notes and what to expect, written from the village.
Directory
Local providers. Listings free.
Trades, pet care, tutors, taxis, vets and more across Saltaire, Shipley and BD18. Basic listings are free for genuine local providers. Start at the services hub.
News
Short. Specific. Near you.
Transport changes, planning decisions, closures and monthly roundups — kept short on purpose. See the latest entries.
On the publisher
Published by Pacavita.
Pacavita is a digital agency based in Saltaire. It builds websites and content for independent businesses — cafés, barbers, trades, clubs and the rest — and runs Saltaire Guide alongside that work as an editorial project.
Commercial work at Pacavita is kept separate from editorial coverage here. Paid work for a local business does not earn a feature on Saltaire Guide, and a feature on Saltaire Guide does not imply a Pacavita engagement.

Editorial practice
Verified on foot. Corrected when wrong.
Cornerstone guides — Parking, Walks, Salts Mill, Local Services — are reviewed regularly, with extra checks around holidays, planned works and festival weekends. Where something is uncertain (seasonal hours, weather-dependent routes) we say so and link to the source.
Every page is planned, edited and verified by a person. Mistakes are corrected as soon as we're told. See our editorial policy and corrections page.
Verified against
- On-site signage and operator notices
- Bradford Council, planning and West Yorkshire Combined Authority materials
- National Rail Enquiries and Northern for transport
- Venue websites, socials and on-the-day announcements
- Community noticeboards and resident tips (verified where possible)
- Printed local history and UNESCO references
Verified on foot. Corrected when wrong.
Transparency
Directory listings are free.
We do not sell positive coverage, and we do not accept payment to change or remove editorial. Pacavita sells websites and content services to businesses separately, at pacavita.com. Where an agency relationship affects what we publish here, it is disclosed.

Questions
Are listings really free?
Yes. All directory listings are free for genuine local businesses. We do not charge for placement or priority.
Can I send a correction or tip?
Email hello@saltaireguide.uk. Include date and time, what changed, and a photo or source link. We publish corrections on the corrections page.
Can I reuse your photos?
Ask first. Non-commercial reuse with credit and a link is usually fine. Commercial or press use needs a written agreement.
