The fourth annual Batley Festival takes place this Saturday (26th September) in Batley Town Centre. The event is free and has lots of activities for families to take part in, including street entertainment and a large market during the day. The evening showcases the performance Spellbound from internationally renowned Walk the Plank and a spectacular lighting and pyrotechnics event at 8.30pm. Also this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, is the Holmfirth Food and Drink Festival which celebrates its 10th anniversary.  Alongside the outdoor food market, bars and stalls there will be live music, street entertainment and workshops to keep you entertainment throughout the day. In December the Huddersfield Hat festival is back. Last year saw local artists, musicians, performers, poets and more put on events over three days in the centre of Huddersfield.  It  was such good fun it’s going to happen again!  The festival needs artists and venues to get involved during the weekend of 4th, 5th & 6th December.  If you want to showcase your work or space during the Hat weekend, all you have to do is arrange your own event during that weekend, fill in the online form with details and you’ll be part of the festival promotion. The event needs you to get involved and make Huddersfield hop!   Events Thu 24th Sep 2015 'Merz' Live at Bar 1:22 Huddersfield Under Wraps Music presents 'Merz' Live at Bar 1:22 Huddersfield Folktronic troubadour Conrad 'Merz' Lambert returns to Huddersfield performing songs from his upcoming album 'Thinking Like A Mountain' (released 6th Nov...   Sat 26th Sep 2015 Batley Festival Saturday 26th September 2015 Come along to the fourth annual Batley Festival to be held in Batley Town Centre.
