Newsletter 12 July 2022
|
|
Welcome
to our newsletter everyone, and as the beautiful weather continues, we
have some great ideas for fun and creative things to do outdoors but you
will also find lots of things happening indoors if you want to keep a
little cooler. Here are just a few highlighted in the text but
scroll down for some fabulous ideas of what you can get up to. And
don’t forget to check our website for
even more!
You might
want to head to Greenhead Park this weekend (Saturday 16 July and Sunday
17 July 2022) for the Greenhead
Gathering where you will find lots of FREE family
events. Celebrate the rich heritage and culture of the Caribbean
and South Asian communities – enjoy the live bands and join the ultimate
sing-along (karaoke like you’ve never seen it before)!
Huddersfield High Street Action
Zone are hosting the first performance of a brand new song about
Huddersfield - local professional musicians have been
working with children at Castle Hill School to develop the song 'Round
Here' – be the first to listen to it at the world premiere on Friday
evening (15 July) at Brian Jackson House.
Not for
this week, but coming soon, there are two fabulous outdoor theatre
performances coming to Oakwell Hall – War of the
Worlds (22 July) and Romeo and Juliet (18 August) – what a lovely way to
spend a summer’s evening!
Finally,
the fabulous Sangam Festival returns
on the 18 July for one month, until 17 August, with events and activities
held online and in venues and outdoor locations across Kirklees, this
Festival celebrates South Asian arts, culture and heritage and brings
people together to enjoy heritage and multi-arts events in a spirit of celebration,
positivity and harmony!
