Our Story

Welcome to Visit Hebden Bridge, a unique and modern website platform for Hebden Bridge where local businesses, non-profit owners and events organisers can showcase what they do.

We say it as it is and have been hitting home the simple message since day one, we chose to call ourselves what we want people to do, ”Visit Hebden Bridge”.

Launched in March 2017, we are over six years in, phew that’s gone fast!

The Visit Hebden Bridge name is now known and recognised throughout Hebden Bridge and  reaches people all around the world on social media!

The hard work that goes into the website, building and maintaining our close relationships with clients, and delivering an exceptional service is something we are proud of!  We predominantly set up to aim the site at visitors, but we added a Local Services section a couple of months in, where local residents can also find what they need!

We are the only modern listings website in town that offers well planned, structured listings with multiple customer functionalities like direct enquiry forms, rating and review systems and itinerary checklists as well as essential info such as addresses and social media links, our listings act as an ‘all in one’ for your business and where visitors and locals can find out all about you before they get there.  Our affordable annual pricing fee of £100 has been hugely popular, and you can also spread cost over the year at £10 per month if you so wish!

To cap off, social media is king these days, and the social media accounts here at Visit Hebden Bridge are the most engaging, reaching and most followed & liked in town, no ifs buts or maybes, we churn out amazing content daily to keep our fans and listed businesses happy!
