The Stockroom

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.

How Rombald’s Rocks began?

Rombald’s Rocks: Keighley Sculpture Trail is a project created and implemented by artist, Leonie Briggs, and ourselves, Keighley Creative. It is the brainchild of Leonie who thought Keighley deserved it’s own sculpture trail and she wanted to create a community art project that involved local people and would bring something positive to town.
