Latest Events, News and Opportunities
Wednesday, September 30th | Autumn brings a season full of creativity across Kirklees. As part of the Nature Season programme, artists, organisations and community groups are hosting events that celebrate the connections between creativity, culture and the natural world up until December, offering plenty of opportunities to explore, learn and get involved. A few of October's highlights include Marsden Jazz Festival (9-11 October), the And Piano Weekend (15-18 October) and a fantastic programme of screenings from Holmfirth Film Festival. Creative practitioners and cultural organisations can also access free sustainability training and support through Kirklees Council and SAIL. The content listed in this newsletter is just a snapshot of what's happening across the district. Visit the Creative Kirklees website for even more events, opportunities and creative inspiration. |
