"The pandemic showed just how important arts and culture are to a place and we are proud of what have achieved and will be bringing to the town in the future."
Michael is also organising Town - a mini festival brining more than 20 gigs, talks and DJ sets to venues across Halifax town centre in October.
The Grayston Unity's usual events, such as monthly social and cultural talks and the ever popular open mic remain in the programme. Some events are free. For more details visit www.thegraystonunity.co.uk .
