Creative Kirklees newsletter

Here is the latest Creative Kirklees newsletter:


Creative Kirklees Newsletter 30 May 2018


Hello and a warm welcome back – thank you for choosing to continue to receive our newsletter!
We hope those of you still on holiday are having fun and finding time to get creative! As ever, if you are looking for things to see or do, you will find lots to keep you busy here in our newsletter and even more on our website.
There’s a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. Two fabulous events you might want to get in your diary are … a new artist-centred, interactive event – ART@THEHOUSE coming to Cliffe House in Shepley for the weekend 9-10 June, bringing arts, crafts and music along with the opportunity to meet the artists, try hands-on workshops and buy outstanding original artwork. Also, the hugely popular Holmfirth Arts Festival is back from 14-17 June, and over the 4 days will be showcasing a sparkling programme of music, theatre, comedy, exhibitions, workshops and new commissions. We can’t wait!
Enjoy our newsletter and remember you will find much more on our website – where you can look ahead to see what’s coming up over the summer … content is added daily!
