Council Chamber Open Days
9th, 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th September
10am - 3pm

A hidden gem in the heart of Hebden Bridge, the Town Hall's stunning Grade II Listed Council Chamber is a fine example of Victorian civic architecture. Guided by our staff and volunteers, come learn more about the Chamber along with some of the interesting facts behind its establishment! Hosting weddings, civil partnerships, and Parish and Council meetings, the Council Chamber is still active today - and as such is usually by appointment only, making this a great opportunity to welcome new and returning visitors to share in its unique history. The Town Hall also hosts changing art exhibitions and the Town Hall Café.
