So excited we will have a Tipi this year at the Festival - all welcome!
In a Festival first, the Huddersfield Literature Festival will this year have a Tipi as a venue – with a Dragon and Dragon Queen to launch it!
In partnership with Huddersfield Live and supported by sponsorship from Huddersfield Town, the Festival Tipi will go up in the courtyard of Lawrence Batley Theatre from 17-28 April and will be open to all.
There will be a FREE Tipi launch event from 5pm on Weds 17 April where children and adults can get up close with a dragon and its Queen - with prizes for costumes on the night. There will also be a special performance from Huddersfield musician Joel Simmy.
Following that, the Tipi will be open to anyone (not just those visiting the theatre or attending festival events) and there will be hot and cold drinks available.
Planned activities in the Tipi include children’s book readings, Dinky Disco and an appearance from The Tiger Who Came to Tea, plus Open Mic nights, local author talks, craft and writing workshops, and activities run by local community organisations.
Will we see you there?!
