The Ted Hughes Arvon Centre at Lumb Bank, near Hebden Bridge holds creative writing retreats in its stunning Eighteenth century mill owners house set in twenty acres of steep pastureland. It is stunning and inspirational...and decked out with Hannah Nunn lamps!
There is always something going on in the town like buskers in the square or Juan balancing his stones in the river. There are lots of artists to visit during the Hebden Bridge Open Studios every year which runs alongside the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival in early July. Check out Tourist Information to enquire about walks in our stunning countryside and find places to stay and things to do. There are plenty of places to eat too and my friends who own The Hebden Hostel (a great place to stay) have written a Hebden Bridge dining guide. You could also have a look at my 'Reasons to visit Hebden Bridge' feature on the Radiance blog.
Our wonderful website was crafted by Robert Currey of Ahand
who trains small business people in 'internet bravery' and
keeps an interesting blog on the subject. Very inspiring.
Fiona Pattison of Happy4pr has worked hard to keep Radiance in the press.
The fantastic panoramic Radiance photograph and virtual tour was by Joby Catti of Anti-Ltd.
