The textiles industry has left Huddersfield with a rich legacy of fine Victorian buildings such as the railway station, once described as ‘the finest façade of any such building in the Country’. Architecturally the town boasts an incredible 1,660 listed buildings! The Lawrence Batley Theatre offers a varied programme of dance, drama and comedy, and there are regular live music nights in the huge variety of bars, pubs and clubs throughout the town. Huddersfield Art Gallery has an excellent permanent collection of British Art, including works by Francis Bacon and Henry Moore, and the Media Centre’s TEST gallery offers contemporary photography and media exhibitions.

Huddersfield is a large town within the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England, 190 miles (306km) north of London, and 14 miles (22.5km) west of Wakefield, the nearest city.
