Small World, a Haworth-based community arts group, has received Lottery cash for its summer project.

The initiative will start next month with a weekend of arts activities at a residential centre on the Bront moors.

Small World is inviting youth and arts workers, teachers, volunteers, organisations and individuals to the Ponden Centre on May 13 and 14. Up to 50 people will be able to explore possibilities for youth and community arts work in Keighley.

The group, formed a year ago, has received an Awards For All grant for its summer project.

Creative arts workshops will be run, with the emphasis on teaching or running arts programmes. Children's activities will include a treasure hunt and the chance to build a flying machine.

Small World is a collective of people who want to encourage art activities involving local communities. The weekend will be supported by workshops in local schools, youth groups and the Keighley Arts Factory contemporary art gallery.

Anyone interested in the project, or booking a place on the weekend, should call Sam Atkins on (01535) 667026 or Fay on (01535) 644683.
