We have been understandably quiet during the past twelve months as we took a fallow year in 2020, and then COVID-19 struck! Whilst we did not programme a festival last year, the Team have been super busy behind the scenes shaping our vision for the future.
We are currently reimagining Hebden Bridge Arts Festival with plans to unveil an exciting new-look festival model later this year.
In the meantime, since January 2021 and supported by Calderdale Council, we have been working on a Creative Neighbourhoods Project with Calderdale groups and communities who have not traditionally engaged with the festival. They have been talking to us about what they might want from a reimagined Arts Festival whilst exploring creativity during COVID-19. This project is led by our newest team member, Todmorden based Clare Danon.
