If you are wondering what to do with the children now the school holidays are here, remember to keep checking Creative Kirklees – there’s plenty going on throughout the summer, starting with Butterfly Flutter at the Greenwood Centre Library, Ravensthorpe, where children can make a butterfly to take to flutter around Dewsbury Country Park at the Open Day on Saturday (25 July) and see if they can be lucky enough to find one of Golden Bears which will be hidden around the park as part of The Golden Bear Hunt. Also, on Saturday, in the LBT Courtyard, there are two performances of The Wind and Sun, an interactive two person outdoor circus theatre show. And remember, Opportunities and News items are continually being added to Creative Kirklees - just a few are highlighted here in the newsletter.
