CLIFFE Castle Museum in Keighley will host a one off live music and visual art event this Sunday.

In an afternoon of bizarre sights, unusual sounds and limited edition souvenirs, the UnCommons event will turn the quirky museum into a palace of peculiar performance.

On the bill is experimental live music from Leeds composer Napoleon IVth, spoken word and music from Reet Maff’l, instrument-making workshops from live coder Joanne Armitage. Limited edition souvenirs from artists Amelia Crouch, Luke Drozd and Katch Skinner will be available in the museum gift shop.

Napoleon IVth has written a score specially for the event, and will remotely conduct groups of musicians stationed all around the building to perform it.

For those who want an informed guided tour around the Museum’s exhibits, manager Daru Rooke will lead them round and introduce the many strange items gathered there.

And for those who’d prefer a more ‘alternative’ experience, Reet Maff’l will lead a one-off, never to be repeated, musical and spoken word tour.

Audiences should bring some pocket money to purchase some of the original artwork created by Amelia Crouch, Luke Drozd and Katch Skinner, with items including ceramics and tea towels all inspired by the museum - part of an ongoing exhibition at South Square Gallery in Thornton.

It’s the third event UnCommons has programmed in West Yorkshire, having already done events in partnership with the National Science and Media Museum and The Wild Woods in Bradford. Previous events involved wearable technology and virtual reality.

UnCommon events are set up to bring art and music to unusual locations, and are programmed by University of Bradford‘s Producer Music and Visual Arts, Andy Abbott, with support from the University of Bradford, as part of its development of a Centre for Socially Applied Arts, with funds from Arts Council England.

The event runs from 1pm to 4pm.

Tickets are free, but places are limited, so people can book in advance on eventbrite.co.uk/e/uncommons-3-cliffe-castle-museum-experience-tickets-33922984560
