This summer we are launching our first theme: nature. 

From riversides and parks to nature reserves and community green spaces, amazing things are planned across West Yorkshire. These are all inspired by the landscapes, green spaces and waterways that make our region so unique. So everyone can get closer to nature while discovering local culture, creativity and heritage.
