'UFO' and light shows bring CultureDale festival to a close
The light shows are the culmination of more than 350 events to have taken place during CultureDale. The UFO-inspired piece, located at the Canal Basin off Burnley Road in Todmorden, is by local artist Aimee Grundell, who said people would "witness a fusion of mystery, light and sound".The backdrop for the bright beams of Brighouse will be the ROKT Activity Centre in the Old Flour Mill.Organisers said the beams would be visible for miles and would "dance and play" throughout the sky on Saturday and Sunday from 20:00 until 22:00 BST.The sight would be a "celebration of Brighouse and its enduring spirit", the council said.
Meanwhile in Halifax, the sky across Beacon Hill will see a "halo of light" weaving patterns across the clouds.Organisers have called it a celebration of Halifax - its landscape, heritage and spirit.The Wainhouse Tower will also be lit up in colour.Durrans, cabinet member for public services and communities, said: "CultureDale has showcased the borough's creativity, talent, distinctiveness and diversity, and will be part of its story for generations to come."

Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents makes surprise appearance in And Just Like That – do you know who she is?
Miranda makes a startling discovery in the new episode CLASS ACT Nepo baby with Hollywood A-list parents makes surprise appearance in And Just Like That – do you know who she is? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEPO baby with Hollywood A-list parents has made a surprise appearance in And Just Like That. And Just Like That premiered in December 2021 and focuses on Carrie and friends Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York as they navigate life in their 50s in New York City.

And in a new episode, fans will see the daughter of two very famous actors make a surprise guest appearance. Ella Stiller is the daughter of Hollywood royalty Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor. She pops up in the episode titled 'Better Than Sex,' and plays the role of Mia. Read More on SATC DRESS STRESS My pal's SATC-inspired dress for her brother's wedding is so inappropriate Mia gets pregnant with Miranda's son Brady after they hook up, and a fiery confrontation ensues as Miranda confirms with Mia that Brady is the father. Brady sits down to tell his parents, and Steve is far from happy about the news. 'You were just getting your life together, and now you have f****d it up so bad' he says. Brady admits he'd only found out about the pregnancy because he'd bumped into Mia and she was clearly pregnant. Brady doesn't know whether Mia will keep the baby or give it up for adoption. And Just Like That's new teaser sparks conspiracy theory that Samantha Jones is BACK after Kim Cattrall season 2 cameo Later in the episode, Miranda is seen visiting Mia in the hair salon where she works and quizzes her on the pregnancy, while pretending not to be Brady's mum. Miranda tries to subtly question her about the father of the baby, to which Mia replies: 'He's cool, I guess. It's not like we're gonna raise the kid together. F**k buddy status, you know?' Not too long after, Miranda admits: 'I'm the 'f**k buddy's mother,' which quickly leads her to getting her face sprayed with water and a frosty exchange of words ensues. Funnily enough, Ben and Christine's daughter already has a connection to Sex and The City, given that her grandma Anne Meara - who passed away in 2015 - played Steve's mother, Mary, in four episodes of the original series. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Ella had landed herself a role alongside a House of the Dragon star. The blonde actress will be appearing alongside Emily Carey, who played Lady Alicent Hightower in the HBO series, in a new off-Broadway play. As well as Ella's famous dad, she also has a famous mum too. Christine Taylor starred as Bonnie in Friends and in The Brady Bunch Movie and Zoolander. The young actress has joined the cast of Before This New Year, a play written by Liana Sonenclar that will run Off-Broadway in New York City. Ella will take on the role of Jen in the play, which is about a former high school track star called Alison Bennett. At present, the play has been indefinitely postponed, with a statement from the production provided to Playbill reading: 'The production team is immensely proud of the work that has gone into developing this piece and grateful to all those who have contributed to its journey so far.' 5 Ella Stiller is the daughter of Hollywood royalty Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor Credit: Getty
