The Lawrence Batley Theatre invites people to collaborate with Ian McMillan on a new poem to celebrate the strength of our community in light of the pandemic.

"While we’re all staying home and getting on with lockdown, we want to recognise the community spirit found in our region," the Huddersfield theatre says.

"To get involved, we’re asking you to reflect on what Kirklees means to you. This could be what you love most about living in Kirklees, what the best thing about your community is or what sort of place you hope Kirklees will be in the future."

Ian McMillan, Yorkshire poet and curator of A Poem for Kirklees says: “In these fragmented and isolated times I’m proud to be part of a project that brings the people of Kirklees together through the most vital of community assets, the power of words!” 

The poem will be inspired by your words, which will be written into the final piece by Ian and accompanied by a short film featuring community members, key workers and local public figures.

An entry form can be found on the theatre's website and the deadline for entries is Monday, June 1.
