Huddersfield is now well known for its award winning festivals and growing artistic reputation. Music lovers can enjoy religious and contemporary music by the world famous Huddersfield Choral Society, or join thousands of others at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival now one of the most important and respected contemporary music festivals in the world.
When a 19th century chapel was transformed, the stage was brought to life with The Lawrence Batley Theatre's rich and lively programme of drama, dance and comedy throughout the year.
The Huddersfield Food and Drink festival is a four day celebration of tempting fare, wines, liqueurs and beers with live cookery demonstrations of your favourite dishes.
Huddersfield Art Gallery has an excellent permanent collection of British Art, including works by Francis Bacon and Henry Moore, and the Media Centre's offers contemporary photography and media exhibitions in their lounge gallery.
