Creative
Kirklees Newsletter 25 January 2018
|
If you’re a secret Gilbert and Sullivan fan (or not so secret!) then
you’re in for a treat with the Kirklees Concert Season’s lunchtime
concert in Dewsbury next week (31 Jan). Following on from last year’s
popular concert, the Jeremy Peaker Ensemble brings you another romp
through some Gilbert and Sullivan classics
at Dewsbury Town Hall – book your tickets in advance to get the best
seats.
Would
you like to share your creative ideas in a relaxed, friendly, and
supportive space? Hoot Creative Arts are running Creative
Pie in Huddersfield and Dewsbury from January to
March where you can share your visual art, craft, movement, theatre,
sound art, music, words, digital art, experiments and ideas.
March
isn’t so far away and the Huddersfield Literature Festival
has already started to release tickets for some events – there are some
really popular ones (did we mention Sir Patrick Stewart!) so take a look
at their website
and sign up to their newsletter.
