The Pledges to the Landscape project is bringing art workshops into local primary schools to help children learn about our local peatlands and the importance of their conservation whilst being creative and having fun! Local artist, Naseem Darbey, is working alongside the Yorkshire Peat Partnership and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to bring specially designed workshops to Keighley schools.
Keighley Creative is home to the Stockroom, an intimate performance space and cinema, which is now available to hire. In 2023, Keighley Creative and The Unit were approached by the Leeds International Film Festival team as they were looking for a small cinema space in the Bradford district in which to screen a few films for that year’s event. The team put their heads together and the idea of a secret cinema was born.
Taking place in October 2023, the MEGA Drawing Box was an explosion of creativity and delight that welcomed nearly 1000 people into an unused department store in Keighley to make, dance and draw.
Projects that celebrate Keighley’s Urban Heritage & Regenerate our High Streets Keighley Creative has developed this body of work with creative producers Gemma Hobbs and Aimee Grundell, graphic designer Lee Goater, and a host of other local creative people.

We run creative sessions especially designed for people who are looking for ways to manage challenging times in their lives such as health or mental health conditions, visible and invisible disabilities, feelings of loneliness and isolation, feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or just wanting a bit of space to relax and switch off.
