Hebden Bridge Folk Roots Festival is set to return for its ninth year next month

Headliners this year at the Trades Club include Reg Meuross, Lunatraktors and Firelight Trio with a free Radical Folk event at the Fox and Goose on Saturday evening curated by Johnny Campbell.

This festival aims to include the community, as well as visitors to the town, the opportunity to either take part in workshops such as children’s folk music classes, Calderdale Fantasy Orchestra workshop, folk talks at the Town Hall, or to be the audience that experiences the gifts and talents of our many performers from the Calder Valley and beyond.

Admission is free for events taking place in the Town Hall, Birchcliffe Centre, and at fringe events at pubs and cafés and in the streets throughout the weekend, or tickets can be purchased for the mainstage events in The Trades Club
