WOVEN Festival 2019

Kirklees’ textile heritage is being put into the spotlight with the launch of the WOVEN festival, a celebration of the globally recognized industry. A series of events will be taking place over the week-long festival from Saturday 8th to Sunday 16th June to celebrate the industry’s innovations as well as future opportunities for careers and creativity.

Many businesses from the industrial revolution are still around today and WOVEN aims to show that these businesses are still relevant, therefore tackling the perception that the textiles industry is one of the past.

The aim of WOVEN is to eventually have a biennial event in Kirklees, as well as introducing long-term projects across the cultural, educational and industry sectors.
