The following 60 events are part of the University of Huddersfield's Diamond Jubilee celebrations:
January
- 16 January - 22 April: ‘Silver 70’s’ exhibition
The years that spawned glam rock, flared trousers, maxi skirts, chopper bicycles, basket meals and space hoppers have been dubbed “the decade that taste forgot”. But memories of the 1970s will flood back now that a team of history students at the University of Huddersfield have played a key role in researching a major new exhibition. Packed with artefacts and images of the 1970s, it allows visitors to imagine that they are revisiting a typical Leeds house and garden of the decade.
