Hebden Bridge Linear Park launch 19th October 2008

On Sunday the 19th of October a canal event is being held in Mytholmroyd, by the Upper Calder Valley Renaissance. It’s hoped that walkers, cyclists, anglers, boaters and anyone with an interest in the canal will take a critical look, make notes and take photos along the stretch nearest them and share their findings. A digital collage of the canal along with notes is to be attached to a large scale map of the Upper Calder Valley section of the Rochdale Canal to give an immediate picture of it.

The event starts at 3pm until 5 pm in St Michaels’ Church in Mytholmroyd and there will be refreshments available. For further details of the event please telephone 07949 368462.

Over 300 participants took to the streets on Saturday, 19 July for the first Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade.The water-themed community-generated parade, organized by arts group HEADS and Thingumajig Theatre made its way from Valley Road to Calder Holmes Park where it opened the World on Your Doorstep Festival.

The fantastic weekend of brass continued on Sunday, with the first Hebden Bridge Heritage March Contest. Despite downpours, when the first band formed the clouds parted, the rain stopped, the sun shone and Hebden Bridge was ready for a wonderful afternoon.

Bands marched down Bridge Gate to the bustling St George’s Square where each band performed a contest March and Hymn Tune.
