Set in the dramatic landscape of the Calder Valley, Hebden Bridge has a rich cultural heritage, a strong community life and a creative spirit.

Hebden Bridge is one of the most beautiful towns in the north of England and is brimming with independent shops, cafés and restaurants – perfect for your celebration, event, away day or conference. The Town Hall lies at the heart of the Hebden Bridge and is extremely accessible with good road and rail links and direct trains to Manchester and Leeds. Both cities have very regular fast train links to London. Hebden Bridge Town Hall is a Grade 2 listed building dating from 1897. The original council office is a Victorian building that has had many functions over the years and once was used as the local fire station.

In 2008 the Hebden Bridge Community Association was formed. Through an innovative Asset Transfer Scheme, the community association acquired the council offices from Calderdale Council on a 125 year lease. The vision was to transform, what was at the time, a barely used building falling into disrepair into a state-of-the-art centre for community and creative enterprise – putting it back at the centre of the town’s civic life as the Town Hall.
