THE GRAVESHIP OF HOLME PAGEANT

Everyone is invited

 

The Graveship of Holme Pageant is a creative community engagement project celebrating the townships of Austonley, Cartworth, Fulstone, Hepworth, Holme, Upperthong and Wooldale.

You're invited to bring your ideas, stories, photographs and memories or bring your talent or passion whether you're a solo historian, writer, artist or performer or whether you are part of a local school, choir, knit and natter group, a business, a brass band or a farmer. Everyone in the Graveship is invited. 

 

To find out about the Graveship and more about your township, have a look at this website: 

 https://huddersfield.exposed/wiki/Graveship_of_Holme

We will work with people in each township create a short event - it might include an exhibition of local art work or a short song, dance, drama or musical performance - but it will tell the stories of that place by the people that live, work and socialise there.  Each township will have its own unique event and then we will bring all of these events together for the Graveship of Holme Pageant at the Big Weekend in Holmside Gardens.

If you have an idea or a group that you would like to being to the Graveship of Home project, please contact Charlie at charliewellsmusic@gmail.com.
 

We aim to make all events accessible and inclusive.  To discuss  access requirements that will enable you or your group to participate, please contact Jo at access@holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk.

We thank Longley Farm and The National Lottery Heritage Fund for supporting this project.
