Try Something Summer Programme 2023
Try Something Summer is a programme of activities over the month of August for people who live in the Keighley parish area funded by Keighley Town Council. We want you to step out of your comfort zone, learn new skills and feel more connected to your community.
There is a whole host of FUN and completely FREE activities & experiences for all ages around Keighley over the summer in partnership with local groups and organisations. Some sessions require bookings, but others are drop in – so just turn up on the day.
