St. George’s Day celebrations came to Keighley on Sunday 21st April 2024 with a parade followed by lots of activities and goings-on inside the Airedale Shopping Centre.

As well as lots of performers and entertainment put on by the shopping centre and Keighley Town Council, Keighley Creative were invited to run a themed craft workshop for local families.

Lots of people came along to enjoy the activities including Punch and Judy shows, stilt walkers and face-painting. And lots of children came along and made and designed their own shield and sword. We had lots of unique creations courtesy of Keighley kids!

Thank you to the shopping centre and Keighley Town Council for organising such a fab event.

This April, Keighley Creative and The Unit welcomed some new movie-goers to its teeny Stockroom Cinema.

Leeds Film contacted us about using our pop-up cinema to offer Keighley families a unique cinema experience over the Easter holidays.

Screenings put on were part of the Leeds Young Film Festival (LYFF) and included 80s’ fantasy classic Labyrinth, the Roald Dahl animation Fantastic Mr Fox and the still popular cartoon Moomins. Most popular was the unique Marcel the Shell with shoes on who entertained viewers both young and old.

Thanks so much to the team at Leeds Film and our fabulous bunch of volunteers for putting on such a great series of events.

For more information on our Stockroom Cinema and performance space, please email admin@keighleycreative.org or contact The Unit.

Saturday 30th March we welcomed lots of Keighley families to our market workshop.

The Easter Craft Eggstravaganza was supported by the Keighley Creative team, Keighley Market and Bradford Council and our facilitators, Emily and Demi, helped lots of local children make some eggsellent Easter themed mosaics.

The event was a great success with lots of attendees. The children loved getting creative with the crafting and having their face painted. There was even a surprise appearance from the Easter bunny!
