WELCOME

We are Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, a charity based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Keeping creativity on the map for over 25 years. We offer an annual festival in the beautiful town of Hebden Bridge, as well as supporting and nurturing new talent, hunting down international talent to showcase in the area, and connecting the community in a combination of year round events and free events for the public. We are honoured to keep creativity alive as part of Hebden Bridge's 500 year history of the weird and wonderful. 

The Arts Festival is truly an emalgamation of local support,  vision and fantastic leadership. Hebden Bridge Arts Festival has long been a support and haven for those wanting to develop in the industry, as well as being on the festival circuit as a fantastic place to perform in. We want to support as many people as we can, and celebrate, dance, sing, make, learn, share with as many people in the area, and those that we have the pleasure of hosting.
The Arts Festival is thankful to its fantastic board of trustees, its financial supporters, the Town Hall Hebden Bridge, its amazing volunteers and of course all of the wonderful talent we have heading through our doors.
