Visitors

Against a backdrop of Pennine Moors and Peak District parkland you'll find centuries old villages steeped in local history and legend; buildings and locations made famous by writers, film and television; and vibrant towns full of art, creativity and delicious local produce.

Whether it's a staycation, a romantic short break, fun-filled family adventure, outdoor pursuits or a peaceful country-walking holiday you're after, Kirklees is just the place you've been dreaming of.

We have lots of fun and exciting things happening in Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Dewsbury, Batley and our other lovely local towns and villages that we can't wait to share with you!

Museums and galleries

From Oakwell Hall Country Park, a Grade 1 Listed Elizabethan manor house set in 110 acres of award-winning park and gardens, to Bagshaw and Tolson Museums, containing artefacts and history from Kirklees and beyond, we have fantastic museums and galleries in Kirklees. Please note: Huddersfield Art Gallery building is currently closed as we prepare for the development of Our Cultural Heart. However, our team continues to create new opportunities for people to access and enjoy visual art in Kirklees with exhibitions across the region. For more information visit Huddersfield Art Gallery.

Town Halls

From national touring shows to home-grown talent, our Town Halls in Huddersfield, Dewsbury, and Batley have something for everyone. Learn more about what's on at our Town Halls.
