Creative Journaling Club
Saturday 21st February | 1:30 – 3:30 PM
Keighley Library

Join us for a gentle creative space to reflect, make, and be.

Our monthly Creative Journaling Club is a relaxed, volunteer-run gathering open to everyone — whether you’ve never picked up a journal before or already enjoy being creative as a way to explore your thoughts.

There’s no teaching, no rules, and no pressure to share. Just time and space to express yourself in your own way — with pen, pencil, collage, or any way that feels right for you.

This month’s theme is Love and Care — not just romance, but the quiet, everyday ways love shows up: in how we care for ourselves, listen to others, move through the world, and connect with nature.

We’ll share a few prompts inspired by thoughtful writers and teachers, including bell hooks, who wrote about love as action and care; Thich Nhat Hanh, a Zen Buddhist teacher known for his wisdom on mindfulness and compassion; and Audre Lorde, a poet and activist who saw creativity as a form of courage.

You’re welcome to engage with the ideas — or simply follow your own path. Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own journal if you’d like.

Free and open to all adults and accompanied children aged 12+.

Pitch Perfect: Mastering Your Manuscript Submission

Ilkley Library, Monday 2nd March, 11-1

Ready to submit your manuscript but unsure where to start? Pitch Perfect demystifies the publishing process and teaches you how to create a submission package that stands out.

This hands-on workshop by Isabelle Kenyon (CEO Fly on the Wall Press, Manchester) covers the current publishing landscape, helping you understand what agents and publishers are looking for today. You'll learn to craft the three essential components of every successful submission: a compelling cover letter that introduces you and your work with impact, a clear synopsis that captures your story's arc without losing its essence, and polished sample pages that hook readers from the first line.

Whether you're a debut author or refining your approach, you'll leave with practical skills, industry insights, and the confidence to present your work professionally. The workshop concludes with a Q&A session where you can ask specific questions about your manuscript and submission strategy.

With 'Wuthering Heights (2026)' now in cinemas, fans of the celebrated gothic tragedy can visit the home of the Brontë sisters in Haworth via the popular Brontëbus.

Findlay Napier

Live at the Library, Singer-songwriter Findlay Napier:

 Keighley Library, Keighley, BD21 2AT

 Friday 13th March 2026 7:00PM

“A miracle lyricist’ Sunday Herald 

Findlay Napier is one of Scotland’s most distinctive singer-songwriters — a master storyteller with a sharp wit and a voice to match. 
That's why we have invited him to perform Live at Keighley Library during #NationalYearofReading.

Described as “Michael Marra meets Elvis Costello,” his songs blend humour, heartbreak and biting satire. A celebrated live performer and regular collaborator, Findlay’s work spans award-nominated solo albums, .innovative folk projects and standout festival appearances.

This is a Pay As You Feel event, we do not have card facilities and so contributions are cash only.

A Head Full of Words - A Creative Writing Workshop for the Neurodivergent

Keighley Library - Monday 9th March 6.00-8.00pm

Are you neurodivergent and interested in creative writing? Are there worlds and words inside your head that need to find their way to the page? Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a complete newcomer, this playful, low-pressure workshop is designed for you.

Led by short story author David Hartley (PhD Creative Writing, University of Manchester), this 2-hour workshop will give you the time and headspace to write flash fictions and/or poetry inspired by neurodivergent ways of thinking and being. You’ll encounter weird and wonderful prompts to spark your imagination, and you’ll explore the experimental edges of the written word to help you express your unique divergence. 

This will be a neurodiversity affirming space where difference is empowered and the only expectation is to be as imaginative as possible. No-one will be put under any pressure to share their work, and no-one’s writing will be judged or critiqued. Stimming is welcome, and you do not have to have an official diagnosis to attend. If you’d like to bring a supporting person (such as a parent, sibling, friend or carer) they would be more than welcome as long as everyone is neurodiversity-positive. Let’s all get wonderfully weird together!

David Hartley is a writer based in New Mills, Derbyshire. His PhD focused on explorations of autism in science fiction and fantasy in both literature and film.

We belong together



It's official: Harry Styles is the curator of the 31st edition of Meltdown festival!

Known for his iconic self-expression and creative curiosity, he'll bring us together for 11 days of music, dancing and community at the world's longest-running artist-curated music festival this June – a landmark edition of Meltdown for our 75th anniversary year celebrations.

‘My goal as the curator is to share the music and art that I love, and to celebrate the rich history of the venue. We both share a passionate belief that music is a vital part of life.’

– Harry Styles

Love language


This month we're sharing the light-hearted and affectionate poem Please can I have a man by Selima Hill.

Please can I have a man who wears corduroy.

Please can I have a man

who knows the names of 100 different roses;

who doesn’t mind my absent-minded rabbits

wandering in and out

as if they own the place,

who makes me creamy curries from fresh lemongrass,

Be My Valentine?

 
 
 
 

Hi,

 
 
 


This Valentine's Day, Ireland is ready to sweep you off your feet – here's why. 

The landscapes are irresistible, from beautiful coastlines and craggy mountains to rolling green hills and ancient forests. History and culture are everywhere: think impressive castles, prehistoric sites and towns full of heritage, traditional music and medieval ruins. And the food? You’ll eat very well. Ireland has a bountiful natural larder full of freshly caught seafood, hearty soda bread, seasonal vegetables and locally distilled whiskey – this isn’t a date you’ll leave hungry.

Ireland also makes the perfect partner for all kinds of travellers. Whether you’re after a relaxed cultural journey or a more active cycling or hiking tour, the Emerald Isle is ready to charm anyone looking to fall in love.

There’s never been a better moment to plan your escape to Ireland. For a limited time, use the code EXPLORE26 to take €200 off almost every adventure — offer ends 3rd March, so don’t miss out.

The Strange Case of
Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

Sat 21 Feb, 7.30pm
In this highly acclaimed, gripping solo play, Mark Stratford offers a compelling and faithful adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic classic.
 
In fog-bound Victorian London, Gabriel Utterson works as a respectable lawyer. Concerned by a strange clause in his friend Henry Jekyll’s will, Utterson investigates the sinister Edward Hyde – Jekyll’s unlikely protégé. Convinced that Jekyll and Hyde’s relationship is founded on blackmail, Utterson embarks on a quest to learn more but, as he does so, finds the truth to be far worse than he could have ever imagined...

★★★★★‘A truly mesmerising performance’(North West End UK)
 
★★★★"A gripping one-man show.(Stratford's) performance held the theatre spellbound...It is a model of what a one-person play should be...Be prepared to be scared - and entertained"(ReviewsGate)

‘A gripping piece of theatre...Get along to Stratford’s show and see the characters come alive’(British Theatre Guide)

A true story of literary fraud and family deceit in the 18th century – comic, tragic and scarcely believable.

There are two problems with deception.
The first is being found out.
The second is not being found out.

In 1794, noted antiquarian Samuel Ireland is delighted when his son William brings him unknown documents in the hand of Shakespeare, obtained from an anonymous source. But scholars question their authenticity and denounce Samuel as a forger. The household is thrown into turmoil and family skeletons come tumbling out of cupboards …

Weekly Escape

Hey 

This Valentine’s Day, James and I swapped the usual dinner plans for something a little different… and it turned out to be one of the most unexpectedly peaceful evenings I’ve had in a long time.

We visited Glow Nocturnal at Carlton Towers - and honestly, it felt less like an event and more like stepping into a dream.

As darkness fell, the grounds slowly lit up with glowing nocturnal animals scattered around the gardens and inside the house. A huge illuminated fox stood quietly at the entrance, almost like a guardian welcoming you in, and inside the hall a giant owl stretched right up toward the chandelier above.

The black-and-white designs were incredibly intricate, almost lace-like, and they glowed softly rather than brightly, which made the whole experience feel calm rather than busy.

Instead of loud music or crowds, it was gentle and atmospheric. You wandered at your own pace through the gothic rooms and courtyards, taking in the lanterns while the house itself provided the backdrop. And Carlton Towers really is the perfect setting after dark. The architecture feels dramatic in daylight, but at night it becomes something else entirely.

It’s the kind of outing where you don’t rush. You stroll, pause, look up, and notice details you’d usually miss. We even warmed up afterwards with a drink and stood in the courtyard just enjoying the stillness for a while.

The installation features a small collection of glowing creatures - owls, a hedgehog, a dormouse, and more - each quietly placed so you discover them gradually rather than all at once. It’s simple, but that’s exactly why it works.

If you’re looking for a gentle evening out during half term, or just an excuse to get out of the house on a winter night, this is a lovely one.

👉 You can find dates, ticket info and visiting details here.

Advance booking is recommended, and it’s running until 21st February.

Until our next adventure,

If you’ve been reading these emails for a while, you’ll probably know I have a soft spot for the stories behind places - not just where to visit, but what happened there.

Over the years I’ve come across so many ghost stories, strange sightings, and bits of folklore that didn’t quite fit into my usual travel guides… so I finally gave them a home.

I’ve started a new Facebook page called Haunted Places in Yorkshire.

It’s a daily collection of Yorkshire’s eerie side - haunted ruins, churchyards with legends attached, lonely moorland paths, and the whispered stories connected to places we walk past every day without realising.

Some are well-known locations, but many are tiny villages, forgotten buildings, and corners of woodland you’d never expect to have a story at all.

It’s not horror - more like opening an old history book late at night and discovering the parts that were quietly left out.

If you enjoy Yorkshire history, folklore, or you’ve ever felt that strange sensation of not being entirely alone in an old place… you’ll probably enjoy it.

I’d love to see some familiar names there 🤗

Latest Events, News and Opportunities


Wednesday, February 18th

As the days begin to stretch a little longer, Kirklees is stepping into a season packed with creativity and cultural energy.  

The Electric Spring Festival bursts into life today, bringing with it a vibrant mix of sound, innovation and performance.

We’re also excited to share that applications are now open for communities wishing to become the next Town of Culture. This is a brilliant opportunity for local groups to celebrate their identity, showcase their creativity and shape cultural activity where they live.

For those taking their first steps into a creative business or freelance career, the Creative Skills Bootcamp is now welcoming new participants. It’s designed to help emerging practitioners build confidence, sharpen practical skills and turn ideas into sustainable work within Kirklees’ growing creative economy.

And finally, the next lunchtime organ concert brings something truly special. David Pipe will be joined by musicians from Opera North for a thrilling meeting of brass and organ - an uplifting way to pause in the middle of the day and experience the power of live music.
