Hebden Bridge

West Yorkshire

A view over Hebden Bridge

Hebden Bridge is sometimes dubbed the ‘gay capital of the north’, and is well known for its tolerant and gay-friendly atmosphere. Conveniently situated on good rail links between Manchester and Leeds, it is increasingly popular with all kinds of alternative people and has a growing LGBT+ population.

Following a long break since the pandemic, we are pleased to announce that we have re-started a regular meeting in Hebden Bridge for all men who love men, whether or not they have already attended an ECC event. We envisage this being a primarily social group, initially over a bring-and-share afternoon gathering, but acting as a potential springboard for other shared activities.

We particularly wish to invite our ECC brothers from across the North of England or further afield for a day out in Hebden Bridge to re-connect with familiar faces.

The next meeting will be on on Sunday 8th June 2025 at 2pm. Weather permitting, this will be a riverside walk from the town to Hardcastle Crags for refreshments at Gibson Mill. About 6 miles in total. Meet outside Salem Mill Community Centre in the town. There will be an option to transfer to a pub or bar in the town for drinks afterwards.

For further details, directions, or to confirm your attendance, please contact Duncan at hebdenbridge [at] edwardcarpentercommunity.org.uk.
