Joolz and Justin will be playing a show at Hope Baptist church on 25 October as part of the Ted Hughes festival.
Details at http://www.theelmettrust.org/festival---saturday-events (http://www.theelmettrust.org/festival---saturday-events)
-
Just booked my tickets for this. I have never seen Joolz perform or Justin on his own so should be good.
-
Can anyone advise on local hotels please?
-
Should be fantastic evening - only 10 tickets left though.
Echo Claire's hotel info request.

Wish I could make that one. Seen JSAF on a few occasions, the only time I ever saw Joolz was a support slot at an NMA gig way back in the past... sounds like a unique show. Any chance of a DVD? :(
-
I will actually be on that side of the Atlantic at the time. I found out about this about a week ago and made last minute plans (meaning not 4 plus month in advanced. for this. I booked a room on a site called Air B an B as i found no hotel rooms. I have never actually heard of this town before but it looks really cool. I have never heard Joolz' poetry live or heard JS perform acoustic.

Should be a unique event. It looks like a standard church hall. Does anybody know what kind of numbers we could be looking at when sold out. (There were only 4 tickets left, last time I looked).
-
This site will be a good start. http://www.hebdenbridge.co.uk/accommodation/ there are various types of accomodation on there, ranging from the hostel to cottages.
Alternatively phone the Tourist Information Centre on 01422 843831 or email hebdenbridge@ytbtic.co.uk
You can download the tourist guide from here (http://www.hebdenbridge.co.uk/tourist-info/pdf/Hebden-Bridge-Tourism-Guide.pdf)
Not sure how many the church hall holds, but wegottickets are often released in batches.

Thanks for the info
-
Cheers Neil.
Cheaper rooms gone already.
Am I right in thinking Hebden Bridge is where the clogs were made back in the day or am I suffering false memory syndrome?
-
They still make clogs in Hebden Bridge http://www.clogs.co.uk
-
Cheers Dipple. Who'd have thought there would be so many type of clogs around.

Well strictly speaking.. they've moved down the road to Mytholmroyd
;)

By any fluke is anyone here from Hebden Bridge or know it well?
I'm looking for a good 2-3 hour dog walk for the Sunday Morning and would like to take the opportunity to see a tiny bit of the local environment. Anyone know anything or are able to point me in the right direction of what's worth a look?
Cheers

Wasn't Hebden Bride the setting for that recent (and excellent) UK TV show 'Happy Valley'... ?
???
-
Hardcastle Crag/ Gibson Mill is a nice walk.

Thanks Zen - I'll have a google later
-
As Zenboy says Hardcastle Craggs, owned by the National Trust, is very nice it's also a relatively flat walk. Alternatively you could go up towards Stoodley Pike, which sits high on Erringden Moor between Hebden and Todmorden. A walk through Colden Clough towards Jack's Bridge and return would take you past Lumb Bank (a former house of Ted Hughes) and the village of Heptonstall (high above and older than Hebden Bridge) where Silvia Plath's is buried.
If you look at http://www.bing.com/maps and select OS maps from the first selection box, you'll see that the whole area is criss-crossed with public footpaths.

Thanks so much Neil - loving the names of the places alone
