We're looking forward to Heritage Open Day this Saturday, 16th September from 10 am. Come and join us - the displays will be up and the biscuits will be waiting!

National Heritage Open Days: 16 September, 17 September Holy Spirit Church, Heckmondwike

National Heritage Open Days, September 2023

(incidentally, this is the church where I got married)

Our Lady of Unfailing Help & St. Paul of the Cross Church, Cleckheaton Dewsbury Road, Cleckheaton BD19 5DL 

SAT 10TH 10 AM – 3 PM 

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Leeds’ first permanent church here was built after World War Two. The origins of the Parish lay in Cleckheaton’s response to providing a place of worship for the Belgian refugees who arrived in the area in the early days of the Great War. After various temporary arrangements, the present,modest red-brick church was built in 1952/53 to the design of J.H. Langtry-Langton. It is of a simplified Romanesque style. https://stpaulscleckheaton. wordpress.com/

Holy Spirit Church, Heckmondwike Bath Road, Heckmondwike WF16 9EA 

FRI 16TH 12 PM – 4 PM 

SAT 17TH 10 AM – 2 PM 

Holy Spirit Church, completed in 1915 in a ByzantineRomanesque style, brought a blend of the old Christian churches found in the Mediterranean to the town. Enhanced by stained glass crafted by Margaret Agnes Rope, it boasts four Swedish blue marble columns supporting its green dome. The Roman Catholic church’s founding father, Monsignor John O’Connor, inspired G.K.Chesterton’s Father Brown, while a later Parish Priest, Fr. Patrick Roche, counted members of American Ryder Cup teams (to whom he was Chaplain), film stars and American astronauts among his friends.

Library Adventures - 13th September 2023   Reading for pleasure is more important to children’s successes than education or social class. The Summer Reading Challenge gets three quarters of a million children into libraries to keep up their reading skills and confidence during the long holidays The challenge concludes on 23rd September, so you've still got plenty of time to join the challenge at your local Kirklees library. If you've already joined, come and tell us about the fabulous books you've been reading and pick up your special collector folder and smelly stickers. We know your teachers love to see those reading certificates and medals when you go back to school in September! Find out more on the official Summer Reading Challenge website National Libraries Week   2nd - 8th October 2023 This year Libraries Week becomes Green Libraries Week! Between the 2nd and 8th October, we are celebrating the work going on in libraries across the UK focused on sustainability and climate change. We all know the importance of doing our part to tackle climate change, we believe libraries are a brilliant space and resource to get the younger generation clued up on the subject matter. Keep an eye on our social media platforms to see all the exciting activities taking place at our libraries and how you can get involved.  Find out more about libraries week: https://librariesweek.org.uk/ The Lost Words Library Garden Trails Keep your eyes peeled for our special “The Lost Words” library garden trails popping up in selected libraries across Kirklees during Green Libraries Week (2nd-8th October). Just come in, pick up a collecting sheet and try to find Jackie Morris’ beautiful illustrations from the book. It’s a great family activity to enjoy on your library visit. Don’t forget to have a look at “The Lost Words” afterwards to find Robert Mcfarlane’s Spell songs to go alongside the beautiful images, why not read them aloud as you walk around the garden? Participating library locations will be shared on our social media platforms.  Mikron Theatre: A Force To Be Reckoned With   Thursday 28th September, 7:00PM, Cleckheaton Library.  With handbag, whistle and a key to the Police Box, WPC Iris Armstrong is ready for whatever the mean streets of a 1950s market town throws at her. ​ Fresh from police training school, she prepares for her first day on the beat. The reality is very different. Stuck at the station, she soon finds her main jobs are typing and making brews.  Iris joins forces with fellow WPC Ruby Weston. They’re an unlikely partnership. A two-girl department, called to any case involving women and children, from troublesome teens to fraudulent fortune tellers.   What starts as ‘women’s work’ soon becomes a specialist role. Iris finds she’s earning her place in a historic force to be reckoned with. Along the way, she discovers the Edwardian volunteers who came before her, a lineage of Suffragettes-turned-moral enforcers and  the secrets that the police box hides. In this arresting tale of law and order, join forces with Mikron as we investigate pioneering women in the police. Book your free ticket here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kirkleeslibraries/mikron-theatre-a-force-to-be-reckoned-with/e-qpldqz More dates and locations coming soon, keep an eye on our TicketSource page.  Mikron Theatre: Twitchers - Birds, birders and the RSPB   Saturday 30th September, 1:00PM, Batley Library  Springwatch is coming to RSPB Shrikewing nature reserve. Jess, the Reserve Warden, can’t wait to show the world this special place, with its amazing wildlife and incredible birds. But Shrikewing is not an island. From pollution and vandals to an overzealous mayor, Jess is starting to feel that protecting birds from human interference might just be impossible. As we meet raucous rooks, booming bitterns and plenty of tits we realise the birds of Shrikewing are its real stars. Can Jess take inspiration from the RSPB’s tenacious female founders and draw on its history of campaigning to save them? Can she find her own voice to raise a rallying cry for nature? Nest(le) down with Mikron in this flight through birdwatching history, feathered with birdsong and laughter. You’ll be giggling from heron in and you won’t ‘egret coming! Book your free ticket here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/kirkleeslibraries/mikron-theatre-twitchers-birds-birders-and-the-rspb/e-zqlode More dates and locations coming soon, keep an eye on our TicketSource page.  National Poetry Day 2023 National Poetry Day is the annual mass celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages everyone to make, experience and share poetry with family and friends.

News What's On Creative Directory Opportunities   Creative Kirklees Latest Events, News and Opportunities   Wednesday, September 13th As always, it’s so hard to pick out what to include in our newsletter as there really is so much great stuff going on, but let’s see what we can tempt you with here (and please do look at our website for more). Starting with Festivals …. Expect the streets of Holmfirth to be lined with quality produce, talented local musicians and entertainment at the Holmfirth Food and Drink Festival this Weekend (16-17 Sept); the Annual Heritage Open Days Festival is still running (until Sunday 17 Sept) so don’t miss the chance to visit some of our amazing sites around Kirklees; and thirdly, the Onwards Festival takes place over two days this year (Sat 23 & Sun 24 Sept) – it’s a multi venue live music festival with a twist. As the name suggests it leads audiences successively through a number of Huddersfield town centre’s grassroots music venues, showcasing a carefully curated programme of live music. We have a great opportunity for Kirklees-based entrepreneurs with The Learn Create Sell programme which is offering training, material costs and a free pop-up retail space in Huddersfield town centre for Christmas! Please do share with anyone you think may be interested. A reminder that the Kirklees Concert Season has now begun and there’s a whole host of great concerts in store. As an additional event for the Year of Music, a feature-film about the crisis facing Britain’s pipe organs is being shown at Huddersfield Town Hall next Tuesday (19 Sept) and don’t miss out on watching the film commissioned by Kirklees to commemorate Gordon Stewart’s 30 years as our Borough Organist.
