Help Create the Calico Dress

The Calico Dress project is all about connection and creativity. We’re inviting communities across Kirklees to share their stories, histories, and hopes bringing them together in a vibrant dress that celebrates unity and imagination.

So far, we’ve raised £4,500 to make this vision a reality. Now we need your help ensure even more local voices are part of this incredible journey.

Your donation will help us:

  • Organise and host district-wide community sharing events
  • Deliver 8 artist-led workshops to turn ideas into reality
  • Stitch the dress panels together and prepare the finished piece for public exhibitions


Every contribution brings us closer to a dress that tells the story of Kirklees.
