From an event linked to the Calderdale Boxing Day floods to a show paying tribute to MP Jo Cox, there’s a lot going on in Yorkshire this August.

Our guide to what’s on is in date order.

From Saturday, July 29, until September 2017.

The Toy Box: From Pop to Present, The Civic, Barnsley: Internationally-known artists and designers are exhibiting toy-inspired artworks from the 1950s and 60s onwards.

Wednesday, August 9, until Saturday, August 12.

Les Miserables, Jo Cox Theatre, Oxfam Wastesaver, Batley: The late MP for Batley and Spen was a theatre lover and her favourite show was Les Miserables. She also worked for Oxfam for eight years, so it’s entirely fitting that the newly-formed Batley & Spen Youth Theatre Company should be performing the musical as a tribute to the much-loved politician in a pop-up theatre space donated by Oxfam. The production has had creative input from West End musical performers. On Saturday, August 12, the 100 young people involved in the show will be performing a piece entitled More In Common, which celebrates the values of Jo Cox and has been devised the company. Box office services are being provided by the West Yorkshire Playhouse. Tickets are from £8, details from wyp.org.uk
