Hello
everyone, here's your weekly update of exciting, creative activities
taking place in the area! Hope you see something that takes your
fancy as you scroll down. Just to highlight a couple of
things:
The
Tour De Moon convoy is doing a nation-wide tour and has
chosen Huddersfield as its only Yorkshire stop off. This exciting
free event, aimed at 18-25 year olds, is coming to St George’s Square on
the evening of Wednesday 18th May. This spectacular convoy of
vehicles and floats will surprise, spark and stimulate awareness of Tour
de Moon and the magic that surrounds it.
Holmfirth
Arts Festival are spreading their performances and creative
events between April and October this year and are currently celebrating
the local landscape with an exhibition showing at the Holmfirth Co-op
Coffee Shop. They’re also having an accessible walk with activities
along the nature trail in Honley this Saturday (14 May) and are hosting
the first night of a national tour of the play ‘These Hills Are Ours’ the
Saturday after (21 May).
Remember The
Huddersfield University Drama Festival 2022 begins
today (10 May) and runs until Friday (13 May), with a fab selection of
plays at just £3 per person this is not to be missed and there are still
some events at the &Piano
Festival and Interwoven
taking place.
With the
Platinum Jubilee weekend coming up, please remember to keep checking our website, facebook and twitter
for more events as they are added to the site.
Have a
good week everyone.
