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.
