Between June and September 2024, Holmfirth Arts Festival (HAF) brought inspirational high quality arts and cultural events to the Holme Valley with the aim of enhancing the lives of artists, audiences and communities. Inspired by the River Holme and taking the theme of FLOW, it focussed on diversity, access, inclusion and belonging in a celebration of the flow of people and ideas. Keeping our environmental mission of creativity in the landscape at its heart, the eclectic programme of free and ticketed inspirational arts events in the landscape and alternative venues supported local emerging talent and professional work to include street theatre, commissions, participation, comedy, storytelling walks and a spectacular parade celebrating Ukrainian and refugee cultures.
