Hebden Bridge is a beautiful market town nestled in the Calder Valley, eight miles west of Halifax, situated at the confluence of the River Calder and the River Hebden. Hebden Bridge (originally Heptenbryge) started as a settlement where the Halifax to Burnley hilltop packhorse route dropped down into the valley. The word Hebden is thought to come from the Anglo-Saxon Heopa Denu, “bramble (or wild rose) valley”. The town developed during the 19th and 20th centuries due to its access to major wool markets and the steep wet hills – perfect for the water powered weaving mills. The wool trade brought with it the Rochdale Canal and the Manchester and Leeds Railway.
Hebden Bridge has developed over the past few decades into a haven for local artists and the town itself has an unusually high density of independent shops – well worth a visit is the Yorkshire Soap Company, the source of the bubbles that float throughout the town! There always seems to be some local event taking place, from the Annual Easter Monday Duck Race to the Hebden Bridge Blues Festival, the Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade to the Vintage Car Weekend.
Our shop could not be better situated on St Georges Square, opposite the site of the Old Bridge Mill. There are plenty of walks from the town itself, one that takes in Hell Hole Rocks (better than it sounds!), or if you want a challenge there is a great 13 mile (21k) mountain bike ride starting from Hebden Bridge considered moderate to challenging for mountain bikers – download the PDF from Pennine Bridleway.
Summer events in Hebden Bridge:
8th July - Between 30 June and the is Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, a major event in the local calendar consisting of dance, music, comedy, theatre, and poetry at various venues throughout the town, with some events taking place right outside the store in St Georges Square.

What a brilliant day we had yesteray at the Meet The Founder Event. A big thank you to Sarah Howcroft and to our wonderful customers that attended and shared their Rohan stories and donated to Gift Your Gear.
Next looking forward to the Easter Weekend with Easter Monday’s Annual Duck Race and the weather isn’t looking too bad either.
Hebden Bridge Team
Plenty to look forward too in the weeks ahead.
The first to look out for is the Meet The Founder Event on Wednesday 27th March, Sarah Howcroft the co-founder of Rohan will be here to meet our wonderful customers and talk about everything that is Rohan.
Easter Monday is the return of the ever popular Hebden Bridge Rotary Club Annual Duck Race. Red 13 the official Rohan duck will again be in action to hopefully reclaim the championship after winning last time around in its “Rookie” year.

Great news for Hebden Bridge stage 2 of the Tour de France 2014 will pass through Hebden. The Tour de France has at last seen sense and will become the Tour de Yorkshire instead! Well for two days in 2014 anyway.
In the meantime grab something warm from Rohan, the snow is coming soon.
THIS WEEKEND (4th & 5th Aug) The Hebden Bridge Vintage Car Rally staged at Calder Holmes Park Hebden Bridge.www.hebdenbridge-vintageweekend.org.uk.
This is also the last two days of the sale so come in and see whats left.
That was a close one! Luckly the store has once again avoided the flooding that you may have seen on BBC or ITV News last night.
The Store re-opened this morning, the roads are clear and the town clean up is underway….again.
There are other shops open in Hebden Bridge, and like us all need your support, the Sale is still on so get down and grab a bargain.
Hebden Bridge Arts Festival starts tomorrow Saturday 30th June and runs until 8th July. After the traumatic time over the last week there is now something positive to look forward to.
Our Rohan store managed to avoid being flooded but many of the shops that were are now aiming to re-open for this weekend. What a tremendous effort has been put in to achieve getting things back to normal in such quick time.
Well the annual Easter Monday Hebden Bridge duck race was a great success besides the miserable weather the turn out was excellent, with people lining the banks of Hebden Water…. But the big news of the day was that of Red 13 the offical Rohan duck who came in at an amazing 1ST PLACE!!!
Easter Monday is the annual Hebden Bridge duck race (@2:45pm) organised by the Rotary club. If your coming to Hebden to watch the race, be sure to cheer on Red 13 the offical Rohan duck. It will be showing off its Rohan qualities by being both waterproof and lightweight.
Good Luck and remember to post the result!
