As construction on the Our Cultural Heart development gains momentum, a creative hub is taking shape at the former Piazza Shopping Centre in Huddersfield. This winter, a group of innovative organisations have come together under the banner of Creative Piazza to bring an exciting mix of events, workshops and exhibitions to the town centre.
On 30 November, visitors can enjoy the Winter Worlds event from 11am to 3:30pm. The free event will feature a variety of activities, including art and craft workshops, wellness sessions, skateboarding and exhibitions.
Families can also join a giant Jabberwocky puppet parade at 3:30pm, followed by the lighting of the centre’s winter window displays at 4pm.
Creative Piazza includes a wide range of local organisations, including:
- West Yorkshire Print Workshop
- Thread Republic
- The Creative Wellness Centre
- Collaborati
- The Children’s Art School (including MakerWorld, MakerSkate and MakerNoise)
- Shared Goods
The Winter Worlds event is supported by Kirklees Council, Arts Council England, the One Community Foundation and the Postcode Lottery Fund.
Throughout December and January, Creative Piazza will host additional events, including art workshops, wellness activities, exhibitions and a community swap shop, offering something for all ages and interests.
