On Saturday you can join in Greenhead Park’s FREE Family Fun Day and enjoy all the street entertainment on offer.  On Sunday, you can enjoy a Last Night of the Proms style concert by Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra in Dewsbury Town Hall for just £5.  These are just a few ideas for you – do check out the website for a whole lot more and see more as you scroll down the newsletter. There are lots of other things you can get up to over the coming week aswell.  There is a great selection of films to watch from Holmfirth Film Festival and the LBT and there’s another chance to have a behind the scenes tour at the LBT on Saturday.  Scroll down to see more ideas.
