Skip to main contentHappy Valley Pride is an eclectic, alternative and inclusive week-long festival for everyone.
Celebrating LGBT+ life in Hebden Bridge and surrounding areas.
Hebden Bridge has a reputation that exceeds its `small town status`. We attract the best, we expect no less!
Happy Valley Pride was born when local residents witnessed homophobic graffiti sprayed on a piece of tarpaulin by the Hebden Bridge Town Hall, during the summer of 2015. It was a stark reminder that there’s still work to be done – a casual phrase, that has been knocking around school playgrounds for decades, it was none-the-less shocking, simply because it is still in use in our seemingly, tolerant and open-minded community.
