Welcome to the June 2025 edition of the Kirkgate Quarter Chronicle, it’s a packed newsletter this month, so much to share and also a fantastic event to look back on… Well, the sunshine couldn’t last forever… but I bet the gardeners among you have been relieved to see the clouds in the last couple of weeks! The soggy start to …

Kirkgate Quarter Chronicle April 2025
We did it!! After months without cinema, and hosting all our live events in the bar downstairs (which proved very successful!) we are now back in the auditorium!

The auditorium work is progressing well, with ductwork now being installed ready …

Kirkgate Quarter Chronicle October 2024
Welcome to the October 2024 edition of the Kirkgate Quarter Chronicle. The nights are drawing in and the leaves are falling, we love this time of year- such beautiful colours, and a good excuse to have a hot chocolate and get cosy! It’s now we’re really feeling the benefit of those new windows and the boilers that we had replaced …
