*Venue details: *The Warehouse is a large open warehouse space in a mill
complex in central Huddersfield. It has peeling whitewashed walls,
yellow painted car park space lines on parts of the concrete floor and
large shuttered entrances. Part of Bates Mill is still used as a textile
mill and part is dedicated to studio spaces and office spaces. The
Warehouse is occasionally used for Afterparty raves and is a
Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival venue every November. It is 5
minutes from the University of Huddersfield and set upon a canal network.
Huddersfield is a large market town in West Yorkshire, Northern England
with a population of around 150,000. In October, it will be around 10°C
outside temperature. Huddersfield is well connected by rail to
Manchester (35 minutes) and Leeds (20 minutes), also with direct trains

*Charges/Fees:* There is no financial support at present and although
funding is being sort for both this year and next, we are currently
working on a £0 budget basis. No expenses or fees available at present.
Participating artists will need to cover their own expenses including
their own insurance. No additional charges. No application fee. We can
offer you a sofa to sleep on. We will probably buy you a beer. We work
for nothing too!
