Stage at the Lake is a new cultural festival marking 100 years of Shibden Park, bringing together world-class performers, local talent, and the creative spirit of Calderdale.

Set in the historic grounds of Shibden Hall and its lakeside park, the festival features theatre, comedy, classical music, brass, and youth-led performances across a multi-day outdoor programme. At its heart are community, creativity, and a connection to nature.

As part of CultureDale’s 2026 programme and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Seasons of Culture, Stage at the Lake runs alongside Seeds of Hope, a new free community gardening festival.

Together, the festivals turn Shibden Park into a shared cultural space where performance, heritage, nature, and community come together.
