Looking for a creative way to celebrate Halloween this half-term? Join us for a Pumpkin Planter Workshop!

Kids will have a blast transforming pumpkins into unique planters — carving fun faces on the outside and planting beautiful greenery inside. This hands-on activity is perfect for little ones, and adults attend for free to help out!

All materials are included, and each child will take home their own pumpkin planter, complete with a plant inside. It’s the perfect seasonal keepsake!

Astrid Sonne is a Danish composer and viola player, based in London.

Her expression moves freely within the realm of electronic experiments side by side with melodic curiosity and baroque approaches, and improvised passages are incorporated into precise compositions with intuitive grace.

CVC, or Church Village Collective in full, named their band after the sleepy Welsh town they come from & if they have it their way, will soon bring international renown to their hometown.

The six-piece musical collective are influenced by Snoop Dogg, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Super Furry Animals & Red Hot Chili Peppers and are comprised of singer Francesco Orsi, bassist Ben Thorne, drummer Tom Fry, keyboardist Daniel ‘Nanial’ Jones and singing guitarists David Bassey and Elliot Bradfield.

There is a photograph that Nadia Reid still keeps, taken ten years ago now on an old iPhone 4. It shows the singer at just twenty two, standing in a backyard in Auckland, her face obscured by a bright bloom of sparkler flame. “It was just a throwaway photo, but I clung to that image through the years,” she says. “You have those points in life that when you look back you see were a time of almost cellular change. And that was one of those points; all my cells were changing.”

On October 11th, Field Music will release Limits of Language, their first album of new music for almost four years. For Peter and David Brewis, the Sunderland brothers who have led the band since their debut in 2005, those years have been characterised by re-evaluation, reimagining and recuperation.

In his inaugural professorial lecture, Professor James Woodall explores the definition of health promotion and its failings. He then proposes a broader focus on social and environmental factors and demonstrates its potential through research in prisons.

Join Professor James Woodall as he defines what health promotion is and what it is not. He will discuss the historical and current shortcomings and examine its ambiguity in practice and theory. He will address the unintended consequences of health promotion that often increases health challenges.

HEART presents: Wilding film screening and community discussion  with Yorkshire Rewilding Network North Leeds hub

Directed by David Allen 

Wilding is a true tale of a young couple who put their livelihood and the fate of their failing farm back into the hands of nature. It is a charming, hopeful and necessary story of ecological regeneration and hope for England's wildlife.

The documentary screening will be followed by a community discussion - envisioning a wilder Heart, a wilder Headingley and beyond. We want to hear your voices!
