Eid celebrations were a great success at Keighley Market this year.

Local artist and experienced facilitator, Emily Parkin, designed and led a fun Eid themed craft activity on Saturday 13th April. The families who attended made Eid cards to pass on to loved ones.

Lots of Keighley people got involved and it was a real celebration!

Thank you to Keighley Market for hosting and for Bradford Markets and Bradford Council for their support.

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!
