It seems that Summer has definitely arrived this week! If you’re out and about in the sunshine - get Creative in Kirklees, there’s plenty to see and do! Here are just a few tasters: Cleckheaton Folk Festival takes place from Friday-Sunday offering a family friendly weekend of folk music and fun. Holmfirth Art Week, a major exhibition of work by professional and amateur artists begins on Sunday. If you are out in Huddersfield Town Centre, why not pop along to the Food and Drink Fringe event “A Taste of Things to Come” for some refreshments – this is taking place from Friday – Sunday. And let’s hope the good weather continues as coming up on Sunday 12th July the Oakwell Music Festival brings 3 stages of 20 acts playing music, and lots of family entertainment will be provided. Just a reminder, that if you would like to attend the Open Space event taking place on Wednesday 15 July at Huddersfield Art Gallery – you need to book your place! Finally, a further reminder to any Events Organisers in Kirklees, the Creative Economy Team would like you to complete a short survey to assist them in planning some free training sessions aimed at helping groups to organise and deliver events. The survey will help plan the sessions according to the areas groups would like to receive training on.
