Keighley Christmas Baubles project to decorate town again

Keighley is set to be decorated in homemade card baubles again this Christmas as an art project gets ready to launch for its third year.

The Keighley Christmas Baubles launch takes place this Saturday (19th November), with the Bolt Academy Choir performing at 12.30pm in the Airedale Shopping Centre.

There'll then be a workshop where people can come along and decorate a bauble.

The idea began during the pandemic by three Christmas-loving Keighley residents - Helen James, Melissa Booth and Claire Denby. The project was such a success that it's now in its third year and hopes to see Keighley town centre and Cliffe Castle covered with more than a thousand decorated card baubles.

As well as decorating one of the card baubles at the event this weekend, you can print out your own template at home using the link below, stamp your own creative streak on it and drop it off at one of the collection boxes which can be found at Cliffe Castle, Keighley Healthy Living on Scott Street, Airedale Shopping Centre or Riri Coffe House on North Street.

The theme this year is 'What Christmas means to you'. Names and community group or school logos can be added to the back of the bauble but they unfortunately can't be returned to the designer after being on display. Organisers also ask that no business logos or children's full names or addresses are added to the baubles.

The launch event takes place at the Old Rombald's Cafe Space in the Airedale Shopping Centre this Saturday afternoon (19th November).

Find out more by following Keighley Christmas Baubles on Facebook to see details of the workshops taking place around town between now and Christmas.
