Artists Open Studio Trail Please note: this event is not running in 2014. Please see the Host Studio website for other events. Studios are often personal and private spaces, each one unique and individual, directly reflecting the character and persona of the artist. They are places of contemplation, design, inspiration, isolation, collaboration, creation, construction, spontaneity, frustration, de-construction, relief, exhilaration and relaxation. Some will be chaotic, others havens of calm. Some spaces are heaving with a mixture of creative folk all working side by side, while other sites offer undiscovered pockets of individual innovation and expression. During HOST artists from around the region offer you a snippet of their world. The trail invites you to experience the variety of work in a range of different atmospheres. Enjoy. |

NHS Blood
and Transplant blood donor
sessions
You’ll be welcomed in and asked to complete a few simple questions about your medical history and lifestyle to make sure it is safe for you to donate and safe for a recipient to receive your blood. If anything is of question to you or our team, the nurse will be on hand to talk to you further, all in the strictest confidence. From there you’ll have your iron levels tested by a simple finger prick test; this is to make sure you have enough iron in your blood to donate. You'll then be called to a donation bed where you’ll sit back and relax to give your donation using new, sterile, high tech equipment. In a short period of time after donation you'll have yourself a drink and a biscuit safe in the knowledge you have just helped to save or improve someone’s life. Donors can attend this session with or without an appointment. To register as a donor, and to book an appointment should you wish, please contact 0300 123 2323 or alternatively visit www.blood.co.uk |

Ruby Wax | Sane New World Ruby Wax is a much loved US born comedian, actor and writer based in the UK. Starting out as an actor at the RSC, she went on to write and perform in her own television shows and script edited the entire series of Absolutely Fabulous. More recently she has also become a mental health campaigner and gained a Masters degree in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy from Oxford University. This show is based on her critically acclaimed book Sane New World which helps us understand why we sabotage our sanity with our own thinking. SANE NEW WORLD shows us how to rewire our thinking to find calm in a frenetic world and how to become the master, not the slave, of our own minds. This show is your passport to saner living. She might not be sane herself but she does a pretty good imitation. Tickets: £18 / concessions £16 |

Annual open air Concert on the Hill Concert on the Hill, has been staged at the Laund Hill Sports ground for the last 14 years, it is an outdoor event where the great traditions of Yorkshire are brought together an award winning brass band, Lindley Brass Band and two great male voice choirs, Honley and Colne Valley. The format is similar to the last night of the proms, complete with a firework spectacular finale. This year the Concert will have a French theme, it may even be called Le Concert. Every year families from all over Huddersfield and Yorkshire converge on this idyllic sports arena to watch top quality local musicians perform the true British classics of years past, Land of hope and glory, Rule Britannia, God save the Queen and of course this year La Marseillaise. They bring picnics, tables and chairs, gazeboes, even candelabra. The atmosphere is informal and epitomises Yorkshire friendliness, every one wandering about marvelling at the efforts that people have gone to for an evening of classical entertainment. The spectacle is finished with a dazzling firework display in time to the 1812 overture. After which many spectators and performers retire to the sports club house for yet more refreshment. Tickets: £10.00 in
advance/£12.00 at the gate |

The 31st Annual
Great Pendragon Duck Race
& Gala 31 years ago, a crowd of nervous little yellow chaps gathered in Holmfirth. Little did they know that they would be starting a tradition that would be recognised and, dare we say, beloved by people the world over. That’s right folks; it’s time again for the Holmfirth duck race! After completion of their landmark 30th race last year, sunburned and tired, we looked over our flock and thought a change was due. It’s physically demanding (and that’s just for the event staff) so it seemed like time to give them a little something for all their hard work. Sporting equipment was out, they don’t have any limbs, so it’d have to be some other kind of incentive. We thought Le Tour de France would do nicely. |

Race for Life is non-competitive. Women and girls of all ages, shapes and sizes can choose whether to walk, jog or run the 5k route. Most are able to walk 5k in an hour. All women are welcome, regardless of whether they are taking part on their own or as part of a group. Last year, 2,742 women took part in Race for Life in Huddersfield and raised a fantastic £137,088. This year, organisers want 3,400 women and girls to put their best foot forward and help raise £145,500 for vital research. By uniting - and enlisting the support of the men and boys in their lives - women across Huddersfield can make a stand against cancer - a disease which affects 26,700 people in Yorkshire and the Humber every year. |
