An annual highlight for the Calder Valley, Hebden Bridge Arts Festival brings the best national and international artists and performers to the area each summer for a celebration of comedy, music, dance, drama, literature and visual arts.

Our aims are as follows:

• To put on an annual festival involving a broad spectrum of art forms, programming diverse local, national and international artists.
• To present work which people living in Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley might not otherwise have the opportunity to see.
• To support the social and economic development of the district and contribute to its image and profile.
• To increase engagement in the Festival from the local community.
• To ensure the sustainability and security of the Festival.

The Arts Festival is located in Hebden Bridge Town Hall.  If you are interested in exhibiting your work there, please send an email to: contactus@hbaf.co.uk

Finally, we’d love to hear from you if you’d like to get involved.  Hebden Bridge Arts Festival is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.  Volunteers play a vital role in the organisation and new faces are always welcome.  If you’d like to help, please drop us a line at contactus@hbaf.co.uk
