Jingle and Mingle – Cheese and Wine Evening
Czerwik of Brighouse is well known for its fun cheese and wine tasting evenings which have been held for many years in the shop at Brighouse on a private party basis for groups of friends, family etc. who want to celebrate an event – or simply just to get together for a fun evening.

There will be three white wines followed by one beer then three red wines.
Each wine and beer is complemented with a matching cheese, and John will take you through each product providing as much information as possible. The theme for the tasting is simple ‘have fun’ so the whole evening takes on an informal and relaxed atmosphere. John is around to answer any questions you may have on any of the wines or cheeses experienced during the tasting.
There are 50 places available tickets are £25.00 per person and can be booked through Eventbrite.

Halifax Steampunk Market will be held Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 September 2018, 11:00am-5:00pm at Calderdale Industrial Museum, Square Rd, Halifax HX1 1QG.

Recruiting for the Coffee Jousting (that’s right!) commences from 3:00pm for the tournament to take place at 4:00pm on the Saturday only.
Captain Cumberpatch’s Curious Creations will be donating medals for the prizewinners (silver, gold and two bronze) and one also for the Coffee Jousting Beanmaster (the host).
There will be a tombola run to raise money for a named charity which all the traders will be donating to.
A vintage tearoom will be there for the weekend selling lovely homemade cake and cuppas. There will be no hot food vendors outside this time as there’s very little outdoor space plus the museum backs onto the Piece Hall where there are other cafes for normal food plus there is a Burger King just the other side of the museum.
Don’t forget you need to pay admission to the museum itself as you will be able to see all the exhibitions there as well.
Customers will be paying normal admission to the Industrial Museum itself to be able to access the traders as you will be mixed in with the whole building, the displays and the layout.
Admission prices are: £5 per adult. Concessions £4. Accompanied children enter free.
If you are interested in trading please email leedssteampunkmarket@gmail.com.

The Big Sing at The Piece Hall
Between 1831 and 1890 thousands of local Sunday School children would come together in The Piece Hall over Whitsuntide for The Big Sing. It’s been recorded that up to 34,000 would pack the vast courtyard for this popular event and celebration of song.

The project will bring 1,000 children from over 20 Calderdale primary schools together to perform a selection of songs, a number of which have been specially commissioned and written by the schools involved. This inaugural event will mark the extraordinary heritage of The Piece Hall, bringing it to life for the participants and audience in what we hope will become a tradition.
Witness history being recreated as we celebrate the past, present and future of The Piece Hall and the local community.
