Running from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st September, the weekend will offer opportunities to reflect on Anne’s life as well as to celebrate her lasting influence. Anne Lister, who was born on 3rd April 1791 and died on 22nd September 1840, left behind more than five million words in her diaries. Her story reached international audiences through Sally Wainwright’s BBC/HBO drama Gentleman Jack.

The weekend will begin with a formal memorial service at Halifax Minster on Friday 19 September from 7.30pm to 9pm. On Sunday morning, flowers will be laid at the Anne Lister sculpture in the Piece Hall at 9.30am.

Guided walks, exhibitions and community events will take place throughout Halifax. A new addition for 2025 is a guided herb walk in the grounds of Shibden Hall on Sunday 21st September. Led by local herbalist Kerri Daly and Anne Lister researcher Lynn Shouls, the walk will explore the garden’s medicinal plants and Anne’s interest in botany and remedies. Booking is essential.

Later that day, a free torchlit memorial procession will set off from Shibden Hall at 4pm, taking a gentle route through the grounds and down to the Mere lakeside.

Cllr Danielle Durrans, Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Services and Communities, said: “We’re proud of our heritage and as one of the key themes of our Vision 34, we want to celebrate our history and the people and places that have made Calderdale so special.

“It really is remarkable that 185 years after Anne Lister died, her life story and legacy is still inspiring people all over the world, and we’re delighted to be able to share the programme for the Anne Lister Memorial Weekend 2025.

“Although the memorial weekend has a more reflective tone than the birthday celebrations which happen every April, the many and varied events over the weekend will also include uplifting community events.

“Everyone is very welcome to join in, either with the ticketed events or come along and experience the many free opportunities available.”

Shibden Hall will be open to visitors during the weekend, and nearby Bankfield Museum will display outfits from Gentleman Jack as part of its Costume Drama exhibition. Halifax Minster will remain open for quiet reflection, while the Anne Lister Hub at Northgate House will provide space to relax and access information.

More details, including full listings and opening times, are available at annelisterofhalifax.co.uk and culturedale.co.uk.

Starting on Sunday 23rd March 2025, the market will be held monthly, offering a vibrant atmosphere with a mix of high-quality artisan goods, live music, and engaging workshops. This exciting new event is in partnership with RSH Artisan Markets, renowned for hosting successful markets in Skipton, Haworth, Settle, and Bingley. Their carefully curated markets have attracted hundreds of visitors each month, with a waiting list of traders eager to take part.

Richard Feather, who co-operates RSH Artisan Markets with his wife Susan, said, “When we were approached by the Dean Clough team, we jumped at the opportunity. Dean Clough is such a celebrated and iconic location with a rich history and beautiful surroundings. Our traders are already eager to showcase their work, and we believe the event will be a great success.”

The market will feature around 50 talented traders, offering everything from handmade jewellery and bespoke homewares to delicious treats and one-of-a-kind artwork. Visitors will have the chance to meet the makers, learn about their craft, and take home treasures that tell a story.

Jeremy Hall, Chairman and Managing Director at Dean Clough Ltd, said, “Our values of supporting small, local businesses align perfectly with RSH Artisan Markets. We’re thrilled to host this event and encourage our own independent artists and craft makers to get involved. Dean Clough already offers a wide range of restaurants, cafes, shops, and cultural amenities, making it the perfect place to enjoy this new monthly market.”

Dean Clough, a 22-acre mixed-use destination located near Halifax town centre, is home to over 150 businesses and is known for its blend of Grade A office spaces, retail, leisure, and cultural facilities. Visitors to the market can explore the range of attractions at the site while enjoying the artisan goods on offer.

The first event will take place on 23rd March 2025, with future markets scheduled for the last Sunday of every month. Whether you’re looking for unique gifts or simply want to support local artisans, this new market at Dean Clough promises to be a must-visit event for the Halifax community.

Organised by digital software developer, AND Digital in collaboration with Dean Clough, Calderdale Council, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and other partners, the free to attend event that first launched in 2019 has been resurrected following a hiatus after the pandemic.

The driving force behind the re-launch is Jim Moran, Club Executive at AND Digital’s Club Sparck in Halifax.

Moran comments: “I believe that organisations in Halifax and across Calderdale see similar challenges in attracting, retaining, and recruiting the right talent to help our businesses grow. If we tackle talent shortage and digital demand together, we can collectively find solutions.

“We’re surrounded by large nearby cities here in Halifax, like Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester, and whilst the success of those cities has had a positive impact on the digital economy of Calderdale, we believe we have to stand on our own two feet. The festival aims to bring businesses and people together from the private and public sectors, as well as educational organisations. Providing people with knowledge sharing options as well as upskilling opportunities, will accelerate digital growth in the area.”

The Festival Committee has assembled a diverse mix of businesses, educational institutions as well as public sector organisations, all wanting to foster a real sense of community and create a starting point to accelerate digital activities in the area.

Jeremy Hall, Managing Director and Chairman at Dean Clough Ltd, says:

“We are delighted to be the venue for the Halifax Digital Festival. As a growing hub for all things digital and media, it feels highly appropriate for us to host the gathering of digital experts within our region.  

“Calderdale provides a fabulous opportunity for a genuinely nourishing work life balance, which supports the people and families who live and work here and is hugely appealing to those people and businesses who are contemplating their future place of home and work.

“The relaunch of the Halifax Digital Festival feels very well timed, confident in the knowledge that our community’s creativity and dynamic energy will enrich and energise our collective futures.”

The Organising Committee has created the festival’s programme, covering 3 days of activities with a dedicated focus on each of the days. The first day will focus on Digital Skills and will include a “marketplace” at the end of the day to meet employers. The second day centres around Gen AI and the increasingly important role of Data in every organisation. Experts from various organisations will share their insights. The final day of the festival will be dedicated to the theme of Customer Centricity. A drinks reception will follow the final session. The programme will feature panel talks and roundtables, seminars, tutorials and a career focused event. 

Jane Spencer, Senior Lead for Employment and Skills at Calderdale Council comments:

“The Halifax Digital Festival will not only be a great opportunity for businesses and people to network and upskill their workforce, it’s also a chance to celebrate the sheer amount of talent that we have in Calderdale. Giving opportunities for everyone, regardless of age, skills or background, will enable our area to thrive.” 

Tickets for the festival are free as the committee would like to welcome all those interested in developing their digital skills and knowledge. Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided, ensuring everyone stays energised and focused throughout the day.

The move to Northgate House will help support the business’s adoption of a hybrid working model. The official opening of the new RSA office was marked by an event on-site attended by Holly Lynch MP, welcoming over 500 RSA employees to their newly created workspace in Halifax Town Centre.

RSA has had a presence and served the local area for over 50 years. The relocation to Norgate House forms part of its commitment to invest and recruit locally, giving back to the immediate community where it is situated.

The completed Northgate development will drive footfall of approximately 1,500 people per day into Halifax town centre, encouraging the recovery of the local economy.

Julie Butler, Business Leader at RSA Insurance in Halifax said:

“RSA has had a presence in Halifax for over 50 years and we are absolutely delighted to call Northgate House our new home. This office is a testament to our commitment to investing in Halifax and we are excited to play a role in the ongoing regeneration of the Town Centre. We are very much looking forward to operating our hybrid working model in this brand-new office space and welcoming local talent along the way.”

Holly Lynch, MP for Halifax said:

“The Northgate House project is an important step in the regeneration of the Halifax Town Centre and the economic recovery of local businesses. This cannot be achieved without the support of the local business community, and it is great to see RSA settling in their new home, seizing the opportunity to invest in Halifax’s future.”

To be one of the first to enter the random draw for tickets fans must solve a mystery code that appeared on the @BBCNorthPR Instagram page at 7am on Monday under the hashtag #GentlemanJackIsBack. The code can be cracked using the same key that was used to decipher Anne Lister’s diaries in the 1800s.

Solve it and you can follow the clues to apply for tickets to a red carpet event with the stars of the show ahead of the series on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The exclusive premiere takes place on Tuesday 29 March at Square Chapel in Halifax.

Whether you crack the code or not anyone can put their name in the Gentleman Jack ‘top’ hat for tickets when the draw goes live on the BBC Shows and Tours website on Tuesday (15 March) at 12pm.

BAFTA award-winning Suranne Jones (Vigil, Doctor Foster, Save Me) returns as regency landowner Anne Lister for the second series of Gentleman Jack set in Halifax during 1834.

The show is based on the collected diaries of Anne Lister which were part-written in cryptic code and document all aspects of the private and public life of this remarkable woman including her romantic relationship with Ann Walker played by Sophie Rundle (Bodyguard, Peaky Blinders, The Nest).

Series creator, writer and executive producer Sally Wainwright (Happy Valley, Last Tango in Halifax, To Walk Invisible) will be in attendance at the red carpet event alongside Suranne Jones and other cast.

Following the screening of the first episode, guests can hear direct from Sally Wainwright, Suranne Jones and other cast in a Q&A.

Rozina Breen, Head of North for BBC England, says: “The storytelling of the histories of diverse communities lies at the heart of the BBC and it’s rewarding to see a BBC series like this making such a meaningful impact in the region.

“Drama like Gentleman Jack gives Yorkshire deserved global exposure and has a significant impact on tourism and the skills economy too. I’m certain this latest series will continue to with local and regional audiences and beyond.”

Filmed in and around West Yorkshire, series one followed Anne Lister’s life as she inherited her uncle’s fading estate, Shibden Hall in Halifax, which she attempted to restore while beginning a romance with Ann Walker.

Series two picks up just four weeks after series one ended with all eyes on Anne Lister and Ann Walker as they set up home together at Shibden Hall as wife and wife, determined to combine their estates and become a power couple.

Gentleman Jack is a Lookout Point production for BBC One, co-produced with HBO. Executive producers are Sally Wainwright and Suranne Jones; Faith Penhale and Will Johnston for Lookout Point, and Ben Irving for BBC One.

The new series has been directed by Edward Hall, Amanda Brotchie and Fergus O’Brien. Phil Collinson is series producer, with Stella Merz as producer. The series was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, and Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama.

Although Shibden Hall is closed for its winter break, it will be open especially for the Winter Craft Fair, which is taking place on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 November from 10 am-4 pm. The Hall will be filled with stalls selling a range of local produce, including artisan crafts, in time for Christmas shopping.

Over the weekend, there will also be a reduced admission price of £4 for adults and £3 for concessions and children 5-16 (plus booking fee) so visitors can enjoy the fair and the historic hall for a bargain price.

The event is likely to be popular and so to help manage numbers and ensure that the stalls aren’t overcrowded, it’s necessary for visitors to book a timed entry slot. Tickets should be booked and paid for in advance at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shibden-hall-winter-craft-fair-tickets-185599953457

Bankfield Museum will host its Christmas fair on Saturday 4 December from 10 am-4 pm, where visitors can enjoy a selection of gifts from local artisans and craft makers, with stalls throughout the museum. Alongside the stalls, there are also some great gift ideas in the Bankfield Museum gift shop.

In addition to the fair, visitors can also enjoy the exhibitions on display at the museum, which include Belonging: Fashion & A Sense of Place. This is an exciting collaboration between Calderdale Council and Leeds Arts University, showcasing the influence of the West Riding of Yorkshire on contemporary fashion.

The Bankfield event is free to attend and no advance booking is necessary, although the space will be managed to ensure it doesn’t become too crowded. Refreshments will also be available from the new museum café, which is stocked with locally supplied coffee and tasty treats.

Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Services and Communities, Cllr Jenny Lynn, said:

“As we were unable to host our annual winter craft fairs last year, we’re particularly excited to welcome visitors and stallholders back to our museums for the 2021 festive season.

“We’re holding events at both Shibden and Bankfield giving visitors plenty of opportunity to find the perfect gift or treat for themselves, with lots of unique handmade options.

“In addition to the stalls, visitors can also enjoy the wonderful exhibits on display at both sites. They’ll also be able to enjoy a festive treat or two at the Bankfield café or at refreshment stalls on offer outside Shibden Hall.”

Delivered in partnership with the Street Work Soccer Academy, RIFA pairs the school’s 300 years of heritage in education with elite football coaching and world-class facilities, starting September 2022.

RIFA will develop young people’s sporting skills while offering a clear pathway into the professional football arena, thanks to its strong partnerships with professional football clubs based globally.

Rishworth School already boasts an enviable reputation in sporting excellence, having produced professional stars across sports including rugby, cricket, badminton and football, while 40 current pupils represent club level, regional and national teams in sports including hockey, netball, dressage, athletics, swimming and tennis.

The RIFA programme will be delivered to students by UEFA-licensed coaches who have served in senior coaching positions at elite clubs in England and around the world. This includes head of football development, Lee Lockley, who has worked as a coach for Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Academy’s director of football, Paz Shan, brings more than 30 years of experience as a player and football coach, most recently working in player recruitment at Manchester City.

Young players aged 13 to 16 from around the world will be eligible to apply to join the Academy, which will also see students receive a world-class education at Rishworth School.

Students may also opt to extend their spell with RIFA for a further two years, with the Academy offering University pathways.

The RIFA ‘total football’ philosophy will emphasise supporting the ‘whole person’ whilst playing attacking football with freedom and creativity.

The programme will also include site visits to elite training facilities across the country, complementing sessions held at the school, as well as visits to Premier League matches and participation in national tours and tournaments.

The RIFA site at Rishworth School will include a full-size 11-a-side grass pitch, indoor sports hall, weights room, cardio gym and swimming pool.

Director of Football Paz Shan said: “Football is so important to many young people, and this aspect is never lost, but RIFA will maintain a philosophy that supports the student’s wider development needs.

“At RIFA, we prioritise the importance of all our students having an appropriate balance of education, football and cultural experiences, while our ‘total football’ philosophy enables us to produce more skilful and ball-comfortable players, who are equipped both physically and mentally to play the game at the optimum level.

“Our dedicated staff will support them in gaining confidence and self-belief to give their maximum effort in achieving their dreams and aspirations whilst here in the UK.”

Abdulla Alkhater is a former Rishworth School student who went on to play professionally for Al Jazira FC and Emirates FC in United Arab Emirates.

He said: “My time at Rishworth School was truly amazing. I learned so much about British football and culture, and it enabled me to have a life changing experience that I would have been unable to get back in my home country.

“The football coaching programme was a vital part of my development as a professional footballer, while the teachers were a great support in me achieving my academic qualifications – they really treated me like I was part of the family.”

Head of Rishworth School Anthony Wilkins said: “Creativity and achievement flourishes throughout Rishworth School and we are immensely proud of our standing as one of the best schools in the region for sports, with academies and scholarships in rugby, cricket and badminton.

“The establishment of RIFA will see us build on that pedigree and enable us to offer even more opportunities to young people, locally, nationally and internationally, through a truly unique programme.

“The introduction of RIFA very much strengthens our focus on service, leadership and the building of character, which helps Rishworthians become well-rounded, productive and successful contributors to modern society.”
