Latest Events, News and Opportunities
Wednesday, December 17th | Welcome to our last newsletter of 2025! We know it’s only a week since our last one but we wanted to squeeze another one in before the Christmas break. There are still plenty of festive activities to enjoy leading up to Christmas and throughout the holiday period, and for those who have had enough of the seasonal activities already or are maybe not too interested, we've included a few non-festive ones as well. We would very much like to thank everyone who has added their events, news and opportunities to the website throughout the year and enabled us to fill our newsletters jam-packed full with creativity! And thank you to those who read and share this newsletter and encourage family and friends to take part in all that's creative in Kirklees. We wish you all a peaceful, fun and creative season and look forward to sharing lots of arts and creative activity with you in 2026. We will be back with our next newsletter on Wednesday 7 January. www.creativekirklees.com and www.musicinkirklees.co.uk |
