Come and see our live performance of 'The Man Who Planted Trees' at The Brooksbank School in Elland this weekend 20 & 21 July.
This is the culmination of our exciting multi-art form project inspired by the mid-century French allegorical short story, ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’ by Jean Giono.

We are proud our project is one of 11 key commissions for CultureDale, Calderdale's Year of Culture, 2024.
The project has been created and co-curated with a small team of outstanding professional artists and facilitators, local community groups and Calderdale people who want to be part of it. Live performances of a new play based on the short story happen in July: at Hebden Bridge Little Theatre from 11-14 July and at The Brooksbank School in Elland on 20 & 21 July, with BSL interpreted performances in each accessible venue. Our exhibitions, featuring art made by local people on themes from the story, run across three venues in Hebden Bridge & Elland from May to July, and you're invited to join in the fun and get creative at our walks and workshops from March to June and at our Community Creative Days on Saturday 1 June in Todmorden & Saturday 15 June in Rastrick.
