Culture Strategy
We are developing a new Cultural Strategy aimed to nurture talent, promote visitors to the area, and support creative industries. It will consider cultural development for the district and provide a route to cultural initiatives that reflect the aspirations of the people that live in Kirklees.
Serving as a foundation to celebrate Kirklees' rich cultural history, while fostering growth, inclusivity, and creativity in our towns and villages, the new strategy will consider the cultural identities across the borough's many localities. The Culture Strategy is one of three interrelated strategies and will sit alongside the Heritage and Tourism strategies. Together they will create a sense of identity and belonging, telling the stories of Kirklees' places, people, and rich and diverse heritage in all its forms and in creative ways.
The Culture, Heritage, and Tourism strategies will illustrate how we value the histories which have influenced who we are today, and then provide a plan for how we promote our stories to Kirklees residents and those further afield, attracting visitors to enjoy our landscapes, towns, villages, businesses and attractions.
