Creative Kirklees

Featuring events that start today and beyond, here is the latest Creative Kirklees newsletter:


 

Creative Kirklees Newsletter November 2017


We’re back!!  We have had some technical issues with our email recently which has meant that the Newsletter has not been sent out for a few weeks.  Hopefully this is all sorted now and you should receive the newsletter again weekly as normal but from a slightly different email address - arts.creativity@creativekirklees.com.  We are sorry for disappearing!

This week’s newsletter has to highlight the 40th edition of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf//) which starts on Friday 17 until Sunday 26 November.  The festival offers a packed programme of concerts, talks, workshops and family events taking place at venues across the town centre.  The festival dates back to 1978 and you can look back on all the programme covers here http://bit.ly/hcmfProgrammeCovers - which one is your favourite?
Also around are lots of Christmas Fairs to visit where you can stock up on stocking fillers or join in one of the festive Workshops where you can have a go at making your own! 
As always, the district is crammed with creative activities for you to enjoy so take a look through the What's On section on the Creative Kirklees website..
