Things to do with kids in Huddersfield

Huddersfield is a large market town in West Yorkshire, and apparently the third happiest place to live in the UK.

It’s also the birthplace of both wartime prime minister Harold Wilson, and Rugby League.

If you’re looking for things to do with kids in Huddersfield and Kirklees, the surrounding borough, you won’t be disappointed.

Spark young imaginations at the Tolson Museum, catch a family-friendly play at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, or find toddler groups, baby swimming lessons, sensory sessions and more in our guide to baby activities in the Huddersfield area.

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal flows through the town, and features Britain’s longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel; the observatory is well worth a visit for budding stargazers, too.

Nearby is the Peak District National Park: perfect for family walks and safe off-road cycling.

Huddersfield hosts several vibrant annual festivals, including the Contemporary Music Festival and the colourful Caribbean Carnival, as well as regular car boot sales that draw punters from far and wide.

There are also plenty of places to while away a rainy day, such as the Splash Park indoor pool complex, ten pin bowling, laser tag and roller disco. If you're looking to celebrate your child's birthday, our parties directory will help you find everything you need
