The Sleep Pirates by Hoglets Theatre Wednesday 23

The Sleep Pirates by Hoglets Theatre

Wednesday 23rd February 2022 2:00pm, Skipton Town Hall

What happens when you just can’t sleep? And what’s that singing through the cupboard door?

On his first night in a new house, a young boy called Bear faces his fears, heads through his creepy cupboard door and discovers an incredible adventure on the other side.

Hoglets Theatre presents this magical tale of overcoming fears, adapted from an original story by Gemma Sharp.

Brought to life through larger-than-life characters, puppets, dancing, song and immersive storytelling, The Sleep Pirates is an imagination-firing treat for primary and pre-school children.

Covid-19: What are the rule changes in England thi

Covid-19: What are the rule changes in England this week as Government ditch Plan B?

While there will be no legal obligation for people to wear face coverings across the UK as of Thursday, the Government 'recommend' that they are still worn in private or enclosed settings.

Restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus are to be dropped this week, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that Plan B would be ditched earlier this month.

The rule changes are set to come into play this Thursday (January 27), easing restrictions on mask wearing and NHS Covid passes.

Work from home guidance from the Government has already been scrapped as staff return to offices as of last Thursday, while mandatory face coverings for staff and pupils in secondary schools and college classrooms were also ditched.

Although Government officials suggest that the public continue to wear a mask in crowded and enclosed spaces where they may come into contact with other people they do not normally meet, there will be no legal necessity to do so.

Also from Thursday, venues and events will no longer be required by law to check visitors’ NHS Covid Pass - although the pass can still be used on a voluntary basis.

And in schools from Thursday, pupils and staff will no longer be advised to wear face masks in communal areas.

ANTI-VALENTINES DAY: The Bride of Frankenstein (PG)

Whether your single or in a relationship, if you consider Valentine’s Day to be a soppy charade then our Anti-Valentine’s evening is for you! Bring your friends, family or partner along to a film screening of classic horror, The Bride of Frankenstein.

Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr. Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.

The Hub bar will be open throughout the evening serving drinks, Yorkshire Popcorn and Northern Bloc ice cream.

Rated PG

Moulin Rouge (12) - Directed by Baz Luhrmann

Saturday 12th February 2022 8:00pm, Skipton Town Hall

Let us transport you to 1899 Paris for the ultimate romantic Valentine’s evening at the Moulin Rouge!

Truth – Beauty – Freedom – Love

The year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city’s drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. But her affections are also coveted by the club’s patron: the Duke. A dangerous love triangle ensues as Satine and Christian attempt to fight all odds to stay together but a force that not even love can conquer is taking its toll on Satine…

Staring Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor

Skipton is in line for its 'biggest investment in

Skipton is in line for its 'biggest investment in decades'.

Plans to enhance the town's railway station and improve walking and cycling routes into both the town centre and to schools, Craven College, and employment sites, are set to move onto their final stage.

Part of a £42 million package of infrastructure improvements, which will see similar projects taking place in Harrogate and Selby, North Yorkshire County Council’s Executive is being recommended next week to take the proposals forward to the detailed design stage.

County Councillor Don Mackenzie, Executive member for access, said: “These proposals represent the biggest investment in the town centres in decades and aim to increase productivity by making it quicker, easier and safer for people to travel around and connect with economic opportunities.

"We want to encourage more people to travel by foot, bike and public transport because it is good for health and the environment by promoting fitness and reducing congestion. The spending will also provide a welcome boost for our town centres after two difficult years of trading during the pandemic."

He added: “The entire project is a great example of partnership working and is set to deliver real benefits to residents and businesses across our county. We have listened to feedback from the public consultations and are confident people will be pleased with the results.”

Teenage students spread festive cheer in the run-u

Teenage students spread festive cheer in the run-up to Christmas by taking part in a fancy dress sponsored walk around Skipton.

The students, a group of National Citizen Service 'change-makers' from Craven College and Settle College, walked 8km - just under five miles, playing Christmas songs along the way, and raising £170 for the Airedale Hospital and Community Charity.

Change-makers is a programme run by the NCS which gives young people a chance to make an impact in their local community by taking part in social action projects on things that they are passionate about.

Tax waives to ease Covid-19 pressures... HMRC wil

Tax waives to ease Covid-19 pressures...

HMRC will waiver late filing and late payment penalties for Self Assessment taxpayers for one month – giving them extra time, if they need it, to complete their 2021 tax return and pay any tax due.

This recognises the continued capacity pressures faced by taxpayers and agents caused by the impact of Covid-19, and, in particular, the new Omicron variant.

The penalty waiver means that anyone who cannot file their return by the January 31 deadline will not receive a late filing penalty if they file online by February 28, and anyone who cannot pay their tax by the January 31 deadline will not receive a late payment penalty if they pay their tax in full, or set up a Time to Pay arrangement, by April 1, 2022.

However, it should be noted there is no change to the filing or payment deadline and other obligations are not affected. The deadline to file and pay remains January 31, 2022, and interest will be payable from February 1, as usual, so it is still better to pay on time if possible.

Skipton Town Council has shown its green credentia

Skipton Town Council has shown its green credentials by taking delivery of a new eco-friendly electric van.

Councillors first considered purchasing an electric vehicle for use by the council's estates team, which carries out work in parks, allotments and areas owned by the council, in 2019; and after recently carrying out research and getting costings, all members of the council agreed to go ahead with the purchase.

For the fourth concert in our series for 2021/22, Skipton Music is delighted to welcome a dynamic London-based string trio with an innovative programme spanning some 250 years from Bach to Penderecki…

Trio Klein was formed by three award-winning and critically acclaimed musicians. Achieving astounding early success, they gave their London debut at St. James’s Piccadilly in 2018 and have performed extensively in the UK. Their first international tour throughout Italy was featured on RAI TV.

Violinist Kamila Bydlowska, violist Shiry Rashkovsky and cellist Ella Rundle bring with them a wealth of musical and artistic experience, including numerous international festival engagements such as Prussia Cove Open Chamber Music, disc recordings for NMC and Toccata Classics, and broadcasts for BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, RAI and New York’s WQXR. In July 2021, they gave a live performance on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’.

As an ensemble, Trio Klein present highly varied and innovative programmes featuring masterpieces from the canon alongside rarely-heard gems and cutting edge new repertoire. We are excited to be welcoming them to Skipton Town Hall for a concert that will include music by Bach, Sibelius, Strauss, Penderecki and Gideon Klein.
