Latest Events, News and Opportunities


Wednesday, November 26th

The festive season is here, and Kirklees is ready to shine with creativity, community spirit, and plenty of opportunities to get involved. Across the district, you’ll find seasonal workshops, markets, performances, and activities designed to bring people together and celebrate this special time of year.


With Kirklees’ two big Christmas Events taking place in Huddersfield – Saturday 29th November and Dewsbury - Saturday 6th December, the town centres will be brought to life with shows, live performances and Christmas Markets. Local creators, performers and vendors are also at the heart of this year’s events. And best of all, everything’s completely free!


And that’s just the beginning – there’s so much more happening across the district throughout the festive season. From creative workshops to magical performances, these are opportunities you won’t want to miss!
