Blooming marvellous!

This September, some new pieces of art popped up in and around Keighley. These were all part of the Keighley Flowerpot Trail organised by the Sue Belcher Centre at Bracken Bank, in partnership with the Bronte Parsonage Museum, Timothy Taylor’s Community Action, Keighley Town Council, Keighley Lions Club, Bradford Council and the One in a Million charity.

One particular flowerpot was decorated by one of our talented studio artists, Leonie Briggs, and is on display at Taylor’s on The Green pub on Church Green in Keighley.

Making Keighley’s streets feel safer

This was the aim of a recent community walk organised by Keighley Town Council and Keighley Creative. The walk was organised as a part of Keighley Walking Festival and the theme was “Light Up The Night”.

The walk welcomed anyone who would like to come along and together we walked 2 miles round town.

The walk followed a craft workshop the previous Sunday where attendees were invited to make their own light-up flower torch using recycled materials.

The walk welcomed people from all ages and backgrounds to join the campaign and help make Keighley’s streets feel safer.
