These monthly drop-in events are held one Saturday per month between 3pm and 4pm round the piano in the Airedale Shopping Centre in Keighley. The sessions are led by creative practitioner, Hannah Butterfield, and musician and composer, Shane Durrant.

It’s free to join in, no experience is necessary and the sessions can be tailored to all abilities so everyone is welcome.

It’s not to be missed, as one participant put it, “I feel on top of the world!”

So, to all the unsung heroes of Keighley, we’d love to hear from you!

This project is funded by Our Patch.

Our Patch is a year-long arts programme across Bradford in 2025, inviting community groups and residents to design and take part in free workshops, activities and events in their local area. Led by local ‘Our Patch Producers’ alongside artists and makers, the project will bring people together through creative experiences ranging from painting and poetry to dancing, cooking and gardening. Taking place in community halls, libraries, faith spaces and social hubs across Bradford East, Bradford South, Bradford West, Keighley & Ilkley and Shipley, Our Patch celebrates local culture while helping people learn skills, build confidence and make new connections. This is Our Patch.

Our Patch is funded by The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund. We extend our thanks to all players of the National Lottery.
