21-30 JUNE 2019 VIRTUAL VALLEY
Welcome to the 26th Hebden Bridge Arts Festival
2019 sees us taking a closer look at our relationship with the digital world in our stunning heritage Pennine setting. We’ve music from electro trailblazers Wolfgang Flur ,Martyn Ware and Maps. There are site specific VR experiences, a chance to listen to Europe’s love songs in the Oh Europa motorhome, a podcast recording with Jenny Eclair, scavengers’ workshops and behind the scenes with a Hollywood concept artist. But not everyone’s wired up, the Analogue Fringe offers you the chance to go off grid and explore, experience a museum of making and hear from some of our local makers why they choose to do it all by hand. Plus a whole raft of inspiring exhibitions including Fay Godwin’s Remains of Elmet revisited 40 years on.
