Creative Kirklees
Newsletter 22 March 2022
|
|
There’s a
real feeling of Spring in the air this week which will hopefully tempt us
all to go out and take part in some of the many cultural activities
happening around us.
This
week, of course, sees the return of the Huddersfield Literature Festival
which has a superb programme of events with something for
everyone – little kids, teens and the big kids at heart! Their Festival
Hub is now open at the Piazza Shopping Centre – why
not bob in and pick up a brochure and see their exhibition One World: My
Story.
The
2021-22 Kirklees Concert Season is drawing to a close, with just two
concerts remaining. You can enjoy the works by Bach, Fauré and
Saint-Saëns in
David Pipe’s organ recital on Monday 28 March and the
Orchestra of Opera North close the Season with one of the most instantly
recognisable pieces in classical music: Elgar’s Enigma Variations on
Thursday 7 April.
Wilson’s
Republic are back after two years, with their event no. 8 ‘Resilience’.
What does it take to build a sustainable creative community that can
grow, support and weave itself into the very fabric of the town?
They have three inspirational speakers lined up for you on Thursday
evening (24 March).
Kirklees
Council are offering a two hour Counter
Terrorism Security Update Training session for Kirklees Event Organisers
on Tuesday 12 April where you can learn about the legislation, and the
new changes that will enhance the protection of the UK's publicly
accessible places from terrorist attacks. The training is free but
booking is essential and to be eligible to attend you must organise
events in the Kirklees area.
As
always, the above are just a snapshot of the variety of creative
activities and opportunities you are likely to find in our newsletter and
on our website,
do have a browse through to find more!
Enjoy the
sunshine everyone and see you next week.
