Creative Kirklees
Latest Events, Christmas Activities, News and Opportunities
Wednesday, November 20th
|
|
The 47th edition of the Huddersfield
Contemporary Music Festival got underway over the
weekend, and there’s still plenty to enjoy with the Festival running
until Sunday. If you want to go along, do check out their How to do the Festival for free guide
where you will find a number of events you can attend at no cost.
We know it’s still only
mid-November, but because our newsletter comes out fortnightly, we
wanted to share a selection of festive events and activities that are
taking place in the run up to Christmas so we have included a section
dedicated to seasonal activities below – with a whole lot more to be
found on our website and
for those not too bothered about the festivities, there are still
plenty of other creative activities to choose from.
Christmas Celebrations
begin in Huddersfield on Saturday 30 November when the town centre
will be filled with local musicians, attractions, live reindeer,
seasonally themed workshops, walkabout acts, a Christmas
market and more! And all activities will be free!!
With a whole host of other
festive concerts, craft fairs, Christmas markets, workshops,
pantomimes and children’s entertainment and activities throughout
Kirklees there is a lot to look forward to over the coming weeks.
