Ashenhurst Houses, Huddersfield

Huddersfield is not only steeped in history but surrounded by cultural delights. Attractions such as the acclaimed Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is part of Europe’s leading open air art organisations is lucky enough to host some of the UK and international artist’s modern and contemporary work is within easy reach. If live performances are more your thing then the Lawrence Batley Theatre has a fantastic list of live performances from plays to comedy and showings of films, they also offer student discounts for you to take advantage of. There’s also an Odeon cinema to keep you up to date with all the latest blockbusters.
Each year there’s the Huddersfield Festival of Light, which is an absolute must-see. It takes place in December in the town centre and includes a theatrical performance and a fireworks display.
