WELCOME AND MAP
Hello and welcome to the 23rd
Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, where
the mills are ALIVE with the sounds
of ‘Trouser Town’!
In its heyday, Hebden Bridge made thousands of
pairs of trousers a week for the industrial working
classes, and 2016 sees the last surviving trouser
factory back in production, making modern
moleskins for the brand new HebTroCo!
On the festival production line this year: folk
goddess Kate Rusby brings her magic to the
newly refurbed Art Deco Picture House, you
can take a No.9 bus to Utopia, hear Simon
Armitage’s poems about rain, enjoy summer
grooves with St Etienne, talk Charlotte Brontë
with Tracy Chevalier and Salley Vickers,
check out Craig Charles’ funky sounds, download
a Yorkshire postman’s Recorded Delivery plus
two packed street days filled with fun and spectacle!
Hebden Bridge Arts Festival is a charity and without
the generous support of our funders, sponsors,
partners and volunteers, simply couldn’t continue.
Bring your friends and families
and join us for the greatest
show in town, and keep an
eye out for our limited edition
festival banner bags and rings!

SHE WEARS THE TROUSERS
FASHION PHOTOGRAPHS FROM
THE DAILY HERALD NEWSPAPER ARCHIVE
Town Hall, Hebden Bridge HX7 7BY
Women wearing trousers
was highly unusual until
the beginning of the 20th
century and then, largely
only for work or sporting
activities. Attitudes
began to change in 1960s
with the emergence
of feminism and the
on-screen trouser
trailblazers Bridget
Bardot, Audrey Hepburn
and Diana Rigg. British
Airways has only just
allowed its female cabin
crew to wear trousers
this year!

Power House.

who topped the UK pop charts with The Communards’ disco
version of Don’t Leave Me This Way and then eloquently and
