Glass by Althea Braithwaite

Saturday June 17 to Sunday July 16
Monday to Saturday 10.30pm to 5.00pm;
Sunday 12 noon to 5.00pm
Althea says that glass is now her favourite medium: "I love the translucency and the rainbow of colours. I cut and arrange the glass to create a pattern of colours and then fuse it in an electric kiln. I'm continually experimenting with new designs, and opening the kiln in the morning is often a great thrill. I welcome commissions - and the challenge they bring." Her glass is exhibited throughout East Anglia; this will be her first exhibition in Yorkshire.
Prices range from £25 to £225

Chernobyl
a photographic exhibition by Steve Morgan
Little Theatre, Holme Street, Hebden Bridge
Open whenever Festival events are taking place
On April 25/26 1986 the world's worst nuclear power accident occurred at Chernobyl in the former USSR (now Ukraine). The next day mass evacuations of its people began. In total 135,000 people were evacuated from the area, including 50,000 from the nearby city of Pripyat. In order to reduce baggage, the residents were told that the evacuation would be temporary, lasting approximately three days. As a result, Pripyat is still complete with personal belongings that, due to radiation, can never be moved. The images in this exhibition were taken in October 2005 during a brief visit to the stricken area around Chernobyl.
