About this event

4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Cliffe Castle Museum

Join us on Saturday 3 December from 4pm – 6pm to celebrate the launch of Keighley Photo Hub’s new exhibition, Photosynthesis, which will see Cliffe Castle’s glasshouses covered in photographic images created by the local community using plant based techniques.  Visitors at the event will be the first to see the launch of the lightshow which will be accompanied on the night by a festive soundtrack from Haworth Brass Band and Keighley Rock Choir. Winter warmer refreshments will also be available raising money for Keighley’s Good Food project.
A unique projection display which has been created by the Hope Project will also be on display. The “Projections of Hope” display, supported by National Lottery Project Funding via Arts Council England, and by Bradford Council and Bradford 2025, will use everyday objects to project community messages of hope across big distances and onto public spaces for everyone to see.
