10 picks around Scholes (near Cleckheaton), from 7 local venues. The map pin is doing actual work here.

25–26 July Near Scholes (near Cleckheaton)

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Scholes (near Cleckheaton), not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Family Cinema: Wreck It Ralph Breaks the Internet

at Bingley Arts Centre

Best friends Ralph and Vanellope face a new challenge when Vanellope’s arcade game, Sugar Rush, breaks down. To save it from being unplugged, they travel through the arcade’s newly installed Wi-Fi router into the vast, fast-paced world of the Internet. Overwhelmed by online world Ralph and Vanellope search for a rare replacement part on eBay. The adventure tests their friendship, teaching them that true friendship means supporting each other’s growth – even when it means letting go and embracing change.
