The Festival started on Saturday 6 October:
|
HEBDEN
BRIDGE ARTS FESTIVAL
Started in 1993 we are a
long-standing resident of Hebden Bridge, ingrained in the
landscape!
We love to work with the people, businesses and venues across the
town to join hands in creating fun and interesting events for our
community and visitors.
We deliver a unique annual Summer Festival, as well as nurturing
local young talent through The Nova Collective, and offer a
programme of lively monthly talks at Cafe Culture.
Not only that but we love to drop by with inspiring one-off arty
events and volunteer opportunities year round.

famously. We want to hear stories about how they've inspired
you.
