Sad news from Hebden Bridge Arts

This is really sad but having voluntarily run a literature festival I know how hard it is to keep engagement with volunteers, especially in the cost of living crisis:

A Fond Farewell from Hebden Bridge Arts

After much thought (and many cups of tea), we’ve made the heartfelt decision to bring Hebden Bridge Arts to a close.

We know this may come as a surprise, and there’s a real sadness in saying goodbye. Despite exploring every possible route, the challenges of reduced funding and a much smaller team have led us to the conclusion that it’s time to step back.
 
That said—we’re so proud of everything we created together. From joyful festivals to community-led creativity, the spirit of Hebden Bridge Arts will live on in the valley (and in all of you).

Thank you for being part of the magic.
With love and deep appreciation,

The Hebden Bridge Arts Team
