A FESTIVAL of arts and creativity has begun in Huddersfield.

The Huddersfield Open Studio Trail, now in its fourth year, started last Friday.

More than 100 artists are exhibiting work and hosting workshops during the festival.

The ‘urban’ locations opened at the weekend and from this Friday to Sunday work will be on show at rural locations.

A special bus will ferry visitors between venues, which open from 11am to 6pm each day.

Many of the people taking part in HOST are young creative talents who live in Huddersfield, study here or take their inspiration for the area.

We chatted to some of them to see who they are, what they do and what they love best about our town....
