MAKING ART A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Creative Scene commissions and produces all kinds of arts and cultural activities in some unusual places, in and around the towns of Dewsbury & Batley.

We don’t run a venue or a gallery, instead you will find us putting on gigs and cabaret style theatre in pubs and social clubs, family- friendly shows in community spaces, spectacular events in town centres, parks and at festivals.

 Find out more here about what’s on, what we do, and how to get involved.

  • 💥 HeckmondLIGHT will be illuminating Green Park on Saturday 23 November, 4 - 8pm 💥 This year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, aliens will finally visit Heckmondwike. AstroAliens are two glittering dancing aliens who will be setting off on a mission through the audience of HeckmondLIGHT, looking for adventure. Families will be able to visit Santa and his Elf, and join-in as they bring seasonal tales to life. Lou Sumray will be hosting hands-on workshops for everyone to have a go at creating their own wearable decorations, and the Firm Band Baja will treat Heckmondwike to exuberant recreations of Christmas tunes and Bollywood classics. Completing the line-up for HeckmondLIGHT will also be the funfair and a street market filled with hot drinks and food, stalls from local artists and community organisations. So grab a hot drink, wrap up warm and prepare to see Green Park transformed into a world of light and wonder. #heckmondwike #westyorkshire #artinthedark #illuminations
