Big in Scotland by Kieran Hodgson plus support

In 2020, the world changed forever, as Kieran Hodgson moved to Scotland. Now he’s bringing his fourth Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show to his hometown of Holmfirth to give you an idea of what it’s like living as a lapsed Yorkshireman in a Scotsman’s world. (Mostly fine, actually.) Fresh from sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre, and from a 40-date national tour. As seen on Two Doors Down and Prince Andrew The Musical. 

One of Telegraph’s 50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century. 

Finisher, Holme Valley Mountain Bike Challenge 2003-2007,

General:

Holmfirth Arts Festival aims to challenge discrimination and dismantle barriers to participation in the arts by ensuring that all artists, contributors, audiences, and participants can access what they need to take part. We are committed to access and inclusion and have a designated member of staff to help with all your access and inclusion requirements. Holmfirth has some narrow streets, steps and cobbles in places and it can be difficult for people with limited mobility to get around. Most of the venues for outdoor arts events are accessible by wheelchair. We are engaging a British sign language interpreter for the Big Weekend and will have accessible viewing areas in each outdoor venue. Common Ground by Mikron Theatre is also audio described. Free tickets are available for personal assistants to accompany and assist ticket holders with access requirements. A Large Print version and a Word version of the programme are available. Comprehensive access information, including a video of a walk around the town is available on our website: https://www. holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk/your-visit.  To discuss your access requirements, please email Jo ahead of the festival at access@holmfirthartsfestival.co.uk
