On Saturday 3 September (2pm to 5pm) Artists United invite you to an informal 'meet the artists' event to celebrate their exhibition at the Creative Arts Hub in Mirfield. Pop along and see the New Horizons exhibition which explores a variety of themes explored by the artists.

Do you have any exciting events happening over October half term and the Festive period in December that you would like help with promoting? Kirklees Council are putting together a brochure with events and activities happening around Kirklees. If you would like your activity to be included, send details to the Events team by Thursday 1 September 2022 – Email: events@kirklees.gov.uk.

A new funding opportunity, I FEEL GOOD! , has been launched to support projects as part of the Kirklees Year of Music 2023.
