The Black Dyke Mills Heritage Venue CIC is based in Queensbury, Bradford and run a community, music and arts space in the historic Black Dyke Mills. The venue has been active in its current format for around 6 years and since November 2020 has been managed and operated by the CIC. The venue is run entirely on a volun-tary basis by a small committed and dedicated team, all of whom give up their time for free. In the 2023/24 financial year the company has benefited the community in a number of ways. The main focus has been a series of music events featuring international, national and local artistes. These events have pro-vided the community with an opportunity to enjoy live original, grassroots music that otherwise would not have been available in the village. Amongst the many acts who appeared in 2022/23 were touring American acts such as Rebecca Loebe and Karen Jonas, internationally renowned musicians such as the French based The Churchfitters and John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett, and local acts such as Roger Davis and The Haley Sis-ters. Our live music events provide crucial support to independent musicians at a time when the grassroots music industry is still recovering from the impact of the pandemic with an increasing number of venues closing across the country. The Black Dyke Mills is central to the heritage of Queensbury. The venue plays an important role in raising the profile of the mills both through attracting visitors to the building and our continued collaboration with Historic England. Our video documenting the history of the mill and the Foster Family continues to attract healthy inter-est on YouTube. We are also working with Historic England on an information pack about the mill and an exhi-bition and we are currently collating artefacts and resources for this. 2023/24 also saw our first ever art exhibition featuring the work of local artist Adam Sheldon. This attracted strong interest, particularly as much of Adam’s work used the medium of toast! The venue also provides a space for a number of community groups. These include Queensbury Singers who rehearse at the venue every Wednesday and Queensbury Folk Group who meet every Monday. Both of these groups provide a safe and welcoming space for members of the local community. In 2023/24 we hosted a num-ber of community choir events where singers from across the region came together to perform. 2023/24 also saw us launch a guitar club which was free and open to all. Led by a professional guitar teacher a group of around 10 people were able to meet on a weekly basis and improve their skills. Working alongside the Queensbury Ward Partnership and other community groups we are looking at ways in which Queensbury can be part of Bradford’s City of Culture celebrations and we have established strong con-nections with the City of Culture team to explore opportunities. We work closely with our local councillors and host regular surgeries where local residents can meet with their council representatives.
The company’s stakeholders are the residents of Queensbury and the surrounding area, the grassroots music industry and community groups. Two of the company’s directors are Queensbury residents and have lived there for many years. Everyone who attends a live music event is invited to leave feedback on line via our ticketing partners. This provides valuable insight into both the types of event we put on and the way that the venue is perceived. Com-ments and feedback are reviewed after every event and this information helps us adapt and improve. The feed-back we receive is consistently positive and is rated across four categories: Music, Venue, Prices and Atmos-phere. We are currently rated at 4 and a half stars which compares very favourably with other regional venues. We are active members of the Music Venues Trust and this allows us to meet with the wider grassroots music community to explore how we can work together and share best practice. We engage with other community groups on a regular basis and are active members of Queensbury Ward Partnership. The venue is run entirely on a voluntary basis and we are fortunate to have a team of committed local people who support us. Their opinions, thought and ideas are a crucial part of our forward planning.
