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 will be re-starting 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 first meeting will probably happen in mid-September, and will be at David's studio in Salem Mill Community Centre in the town. Details will be confirmed here and in the ECC newsletter nearer the time.

For enquiries in the meantime, and to be added to our mailing list, please contact hebdenbridge [at] edwardcarpentercommunity.org.uk.
