Vibrant culture

We're investing millions in putting Huddersfield - and wider Kirklees - on the map as a focal point for art, history, music and culture in the north.

We want the future of Huddersfield to be more vibrant and varied, with more eclectic town centre events and reasons to visit that are bigger than shopping. We have some amazing retailers in Huddersfield, but offering more from our high streets is crucial - both to support them and to deliver what people want from modern-day towns today.

Kirklees has an incredible array of local artists and creative businesses, plus a wealth of local history to draw on. We're also home to the Poet Laureate, a world-renowned textile industry, and an award-winning university encouraging the next generation of creatives.

These fantastic developments in Huddersfield town centre will also give people more reasons to visit Kirklees from far and wide.
