Our summer 2023 season is now on sale!

Our new season is now on sale. We're here to entertain you this summer with a packed programme including rock gigs, puppet shows for kids, Yorkshire premieres from Olivier Award winning choreographers, open mic nights for local poets, the return of our outdoor music festival Summer in the Courtyard and so much more.

Have a flick through our full programme below...

Yorkshire born and bred choreographer Gary Clarke returns with his feature length show about 90s club culture WASTELAND. At the time of the miners strikes, a sub-culture was born. Gary Clarke’s explosive WASTELAND explores that time when despair turned into euphoria as the ravaged landscape of post-industrial Britain was transformed by the illegal rave culture of the 1990s and for an instant, it seemed music and dance might save the day. 

Now, following a critically acclaimed autumn launch, WASTELAND comes to Huddersfield as part of its winter and spring tour, with performances here on Tues 9 & Wed 10 May. 

Throughout the summer, from mid June until the start of September, there will be live music and other special events happening here every Friday and Saturday. Our outdoor festival, Summer in the Courtyard, was initially started in 2020 and is now in it's forth year. We are looking forward to seeing you in our Courtyard dancing, singing along, and enjoying yourselves.  

The festival gives paid opportunities to local artists and this year features returning artists; resident drag queen Miss D, five-piece indie folk band Fishing4Compliments and local singer and pianist Richard Sykes.  

On Sun 6 August Prince Reimagined will takeover our main stage. Prince, known for his incredible musicianship and flamboyant stage presence, influenced generations of musicians, singers and fans. His songbook is one of the most enigmatic and prolific created by any artist; while his celebration of diversity, sexuality and identity has struck a chord with people across the world.  

Prince Reimagined aims to review Prince's music in diverse and exciting musical genres, giving new experiences to long-standing fans, and an insight into Prince's music to younger generations who have yet to hear of Prince and may yet take inspiration from his life and work. The project also looks to collect oral histories from people who have been affected by the music and creativity of Prince.  

Our Chief Executive Becky Atkinson says “Here we go again with another jam packed season, including entertaining comedy from household names, brave and exciting contemporary dance and locally rooted free performances from Huddersfield artists during Summer in the Courtyard.  

We are putting the community at the heart of the programme building towards the 6th August where we have a multicultural song and dance showcase in the Courtyard and the innovative Prince Reimagined musical extravaganza in the main house as part of Kirklees Year of Music. With so much talent visiting and based in West Yorkshire across our three fabulous stages, it’s a summer not to be missed.”
