These are truly unique eaux-de-vies. Fanny Fougerat is to Cognac what Reisetbauer is to Gin. What Grower Producer is to Champagne. Nose: Initial scents offer sweet notes of delectable dark fruits. Beneath the surface, an oak essence lingers as a result of its time spent aging in old oak. Palate: Old Cognac essence is offered through notes of old oak furniture, leather and rolling tobacco. Beautifully complemented with a sweet essence of fresh orchard fruits and dark chocolate.

Her gritty crime fiction police procedural novels set in Bradford – DI Gus McGuire series and her DS Nikki Parekh series – embrace the city she describes as ‘Warm, Rich and Fearless’ whilst exploring the darkness that lurks beneath. Yet, her heart remains in Scotland, where childhood tales of bogey men, Bible John and grey lady ghosts fed her imagination. Her latest work, The Solanki and McQueen crime series is set around West Lothian, where she uses the distinctive landscape, historic heritage and Scottish culture as a backdrop to her gritty yet often humorous stories. Liz's new novel, the first in the thrilling new Solanki and McQueen crime series set in West Lothian, Scotland. ‘The Blood Promise is an explosion of grit, suspense, and dashes of humor throughout, but it also juggles much bigger themes, from mental health and racism to misogyny in the police force.

Creative Scene Newsletter   Hello and welcome to our newsletter! As Summer most definitely comes to an end and as we head full steam into Autumn, we thought we would take a look back at the events we’ve hosted recently and share with you some of our highlights. There are way too many to mention but hopefully it should give you an insight into what we got up to during the summer months!   From July to September, over 1,400 Kirklees residents came along to or took part in our events and activities, and over 500 more watched our short films online.   A huge thank you to everyone who came along and took part – we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!   As always, any queries drop us an email hello@creativescene.org.uk or send us a direct message on our socials – Facebook, X and Instagram.     What we did during the summer ...........     We supported local events – Batley Gala and Batley Fun Day in bringing communities together with fun walk about shows for all the family to enjoy. The Legends of Cricket were a big hit at Batley Cricket Club’s Gala and The Bee Cart brought a special buzz to Change Grow Live’s Batley Fun Day in Wilton Park, entertaining as well as educating about the importance of bees!     SCRUMPTIOUS! This summer we teamed up with The Friends of Crow Nest Park  to bring theatre company Beggars Believe Collective and their show SCRUMPTIOUS! the magical story of Sylvie the sweet shop owner to the Walled Garden at Crow Nest Park. We all enjoyed sunshine, stories and sweet things as well as learning all about friendship and learning hilarious songs. We hosted four sell out shows over two days as well as special performances for families from Ravensthorpe Community Centre.     Heritage Open Days 2024 Play Lawns & Walled Garden Tea Party   The Walled Gardens, Adventure Playground and The Friends of Crow Nest Park hosted our special Heritage Open Day event in September 2024.Taking inspiration from the ‘play lawns’ that were once a feature of the park, we brought lots of fun, family friendly activities for all to enjoy. They included Cloud Gazing, Circus Skills, craft workshops and special performances from Trixie and Tillie, The Tea Ladies.    Older residents and families alike were hosted for a special afternoon tea by our own tea ladies in the Walled Gardens  with a classical music string trio, and beautifully decorated tables created by artist Donna Ramsden with local young people - they really did make the setting extra special!       Peace by Piece   One of our favourite projects through the summer was Peace by Piece - a series of creative workshops for women and girls to learn the craft of lino printing and discover what Peace meant to them. Held in the beautiful surroundings of Bagshaw Museum and led by textile artist Ranya Abdullateef the women embraced the opportunity and created some truly stunning pieces. The final collaborative piece will be displayed later in the year with a special launch event- keep checking our website or follow our socials tor the launch date         What's On - Autumn 2024     October Half Term - The Firework Maker's Daughter    1st November 2024 Dewsbury Elim Pentecostal Church, Wellington Street, WF13 1LY   This half term, get ready for Bonfire night and join us for our  family friendly performances of The Firework-Maker’s Daughter.   This magical story of Lila takes her on a voyage across lakes and over mountains, facing her biggest fears and learning everything she needs to know -to become the person she has always wanted to be.   The show features talking elephants, silly kings, magical creatures, magic and lots of audience participation.   £2 per person or pay what you feel.   Book in advance – two showings at 10.30am and 1.30pm with a free craft session running in between.
