WELCOME

We’re a historic, evolving space for arts, community, and heritage in the hills above Hebden Bridge. With a thriving programme of music, dance, performance, visual arts and other public events—as well as being a unique wedding venue—Wainsgate is a place where old stories and new ideas meet.

Scroll down to see what’s on, and take a look around the site to find out how to get involved, and to learn more about the building and the events that bring it to life.
