Latest Events, News and Opportunities
|

As
we head into September it's the start of a new season for many, with theatre, concerts, exhibitions and workshops offering new activities for you to
enjoy. Perhaps you've always wanted to try pottery or singing or just
want to sit back and enjoy being entertained. We've plenty to offer
you in Kirklees so take a look around the website
and browse through some of the highlights in this week's newsletter.
If you're a fan of history and heritage, you'll enjoy Heritage
Open Days from 8 - 17 September, This year's Kirklees
program features over 40 new events alongside old
favourites, many centred around the theme of "Creativity
Unwrapped." These events highlight creativity in architecture,
activities, and the arts, including around 20 that contribute to the Kirklees Year of Music.
We hope you find something creative to enjoy!
