Are you suffering January blues and in need of a pick-me-up?
You might fancy a cocktail or two, or a steak night - or why not try something vegan as January is 'go vegan' month.
Or you could enjoy a big breakfast and a chat about classic cars over at The Carding Shed.
Here's our guide to things to do in Huddersfield and beyond this week.
Go vegan for January
It is a ‘dry’ January for some but it is also Veganuary, which means you might want to try going vegan for a month.
There are restaurants with vegan menus in Huddersfield including Goat Cafe, Baba Ganosh and Blue Rooms.
Or you might want to just buy a vegan cookbook.
Live lounge at The Spiced Pear
It's ‘live lounge Friday’ at The Spiced Pear.
Live acoustic music in the cocktail lounge from 8pm. The atmosphere is chilled and the cocktails are two for the price of one.
Book ahead by calling 01484 683775. Sheffield Road at New Mill, HD9 7TP.
Pie night at The Bridge
For those who don’t fancy going vegan for a month, don’t worry - it’s pie night at The Bridge in Holmbridge on Wednesdays and it is steak night at the Durker Roods Hotel at Meltham on the same evening.
Over at the Huntsman Inn they have a regular homemade pie night every Wednesday if you are keen to support your local pub. Booking recommended.
Books and Butties in Hepworth
You like books? And butties? Then the Books & Butties event at Hepworth Village Hall is right up your street.
