HERD | Announcement

HERD is a musical and sculptural odyssey of epic proportions. Devised by composer Orlando Gough and produced by leading arts production company, Artichoke, HERD will take place around Kirklees during July 2023 as part of Kirklees Year of Music. This KYOM23 flagship project is a ground-breaking collaboration between artists, musicians and hundreds of schoolchildren and community members.
Over six magical days from 11 - 16 July 2023, 23 larger-than-life sheep, unlike any you’ve ever seen or heard, will appear in surprising places across the beautiful Kirklees countryside.
On Sunday 16 July, HERD will arrive in St George’s Square, Huddersfield, for a euphoric free-to-attend finale and musical mash-up of epic proportions.
This project has been made possible by National Lottery players and the money invested in HERD’s heritage strand, Sing & Sew through The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
