The Flying Shed Takes Off!

The Flying Shed is a magical community radio drama set in the Colne and Holme Valleys, Kirklees, West Yorkshire.

It is best described as a cross between The Archers and Dr Who! It is the culmination of an audio arts project between Satellite Arts and Heads Together and was rehearsed and recorded at The Watershed in Slaithwaite. It was broadcast by ‘Two Valleys Radio' who are now based at Meltham.
