October's History Society meeting is on Wednesday 14th October 2026. It will include a talk from committee member Tim Neal. The Hippodrome Theatre shut its doors for the last time in October 1956, closing with the Keighley Amateurs' production of 'Oklahoma!'. This ended an almost uninterrupted run of annual shows that had started in 1914 - pausing only for two world wars. Tim will talk about all the shows, intertwined with the history of the vanished theatre itself. The History Society meeting will take place upstairs in the Civic Centre, on North Street. Doors open at 7.15pm and the meeting will start just before 7.30pm. Entry is free to History Society members, or £3.50 for anyone else who wants to just come along (booking is not required). Members can also choose to join the meeting via Zoom if they wish.
You can take out membership of the History Society at any of our meetings in the Civic Centre. Membership costs £15 (or £20 for two people at the same address). Buy membership for 2027 at this meeting and get the remainder of 2026 included. Please pay in cash on the night. As well as free entry to our monthly meetings, membership also gets you invited to members-only events and you will receive the quarterly newsletter via email.
