We are so pleased to be partnering with the fabulous Huddersfield Literature Festival once again this year 👏 truly a wonderful festival.

Thank you to Huddersfield BID for their sponsorship

@📣 We are beyond excited to announce that the Festival Tipi will be returning to the Lawrence Batley Theatre courtyard this May!

🥂 The Tipi will launch on 13 May with a glittering Great Gatsby-themed free launch to commemorate the centenary of the publication of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, and an open mic organised by the University of Huddersfield's Creative Writing Society.

A partnership initiative between the Festival, Huddersfield Live and Lawrence Batley Theatre with sponsorship from Huddersfield BID, the Tipi will provide a meeting point and event space, open to anyone who wants to drop in.

Following launch night, there will be plenty of entertainment on offer, from Open Mic nights to Bollywood dance, and from craft sessions to business networking events. Kids will have the chance to meet Spider-Man and Peter Rabbit, and take part in art and craft activities.

Festival Director Michelle Hodgson says: “We are thrilled to bring the Tipi back to the theatre courtyard for a second year, thanks to our partners and new sponsor Huddersfield BID. The Tipi will be open to all and we’re hoping the town will come out and enjoy a drink in the May sunshine!”
