Spring/summer 2026 is now on sale! We're here to make magic this spring/summer with skateboarding hijab-wearing sisters, a breakthrough Japanese choreographer, an Olivier Award nominated show for the youngest audiences, the return of pop star Kerry Katona and so much more.

Have a flick through our full programme below...

A highlight of spring/summer 2026 is Sisters 360, a play for young audiences about skateboarding sisters. Written by award-winning playwright Asif Khan with his own young children in mind and the lack of representation in theatre. The story is inspired by real life skateboarding sisters from Hull known as the “hijabi sisters”. Through their passion for skateboarding (inspired by Olympic Medalist Sky Brown) they have broken all kinds of stereotypes about Muslim girls, particularly hijab wearing girls. This became the inspiration for Sisters 360. On the day of the show local young people will be invited into our courtyard to skateboard, scoot and roller blade on specialist ramps set up on the day.

We deepens our reputation for bringing outstanding contemporary dance to Yorkshire with the brand new powerful show RONiN. Inspired by the legacy of Japan’s ronin - masterless samurai who lived by their own code - award-winning choreographer Yukiko Masui shows us the journey of a fearless woman swordfighter who faces off against powerful adversaries, challenging both herself and those who stand in her path.

Another highlight is an all-time favourite picture book by Judith Kerr OBE brought to life in the Olivier Award nominated stage show, The Tiger Who Came to Tea. This musical play ideal for the youngest of audiences is adapted and directed by David Wood OBE. He is undisputedly the country’s leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children. His many successes include The Gingerbread Man, The Witches and Babe the Sheep Pig.

Original member of Atomic Kitten, Kerry Katona, comes to Huddersfield with the ultimate non-stop party tribute to Mamma Mia! The Musical in Here We Go Again. With a cast of singers and dancers straight from the West End, this is a top night out not to be missed.
