Summer in the Courtyard is Back

Huddersfield business supports our free Summer Festival for the first time

A huge thanks to the support of local businesses and foundations, Huddersfield's favourite free music festival Summer in the Courtyard is back.

Every Friday and Saturday evening in July, treat yourself to a free night out. Come to our courtyard and dance the night away while listening to great live music from local bands. Or grab your ticket for a right laugh at Huddersfield's summer Comedy Festival or bring your family along for a special DJ dance session at Dinky Disco Festival. And don't forget to book early for a massive night out with our headliner house music legends K-Klass.

This year's programme has been made possible with thanks to Hanson Self Storage, who are supporting Summer in the Courtyard as headline sponsor for the first time. Their sponsorship is the start of a new partnership with us, and thanks to them we can bring a packed summer programme to local people. 

Alongside Hanson Self Storage's headline sponsorship, One Community Foundation is supporting Courtyard Live – and LWC is supporting this year's Courtyard Comedy Festival, helping to bring some of the UK's up and coming comedians to Huddersfield.

Olivia Race, Chief Executive (Maternity Cover) of Lawrence Batley Theatre, said:

“Summer in the Courtyard has become a real highlight of Huddersfield's cultural calendar. It's about creating a welcoming space where people can come together, enjoy brilliant live entertainment and spend time in the town centre over the summer months.

“We're delighted to welcome Hanson Self Storage as our headline sponsor for the first time. Their support, alongside the sponsorship of One Community and LWC, enables us to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our community, including many events that are completely free to attend."

Paul Pheasey, Managing Director of Hanson Self Storage, said:

"The Hanson family business has been based in and supporting the Huddersfield community for many years, and now our new business Hanson Self Storage is launching with a mission to give back to our local area from day one. Supporting Summer in the Courtyard is a fantastic opportunity for us to invest in something that brings people together and celebrates everything that's great about Huddersfield. Lawrence Batley Theatre plays an important role in our community, and we're proud to be part of this year's festival."
