Open Gardens and Studios have been a distinctive part of the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival for several sunny years.

2003 is no exception. Treat yourself to hours of delight in 50 glorious gardens and stunning studios, soaking up a wealth of local creativity and skill.

After last year's success, the Festival is again running two minibus tours, taking visitors to three of the less accessible gems among this year's Open Gardens. One of the gardens is exclusively open to minibus tour visitors only. Chose from Saturday or Sunday afternoons June 28 or 29 setting off from the Festival Shop in Albert Street, Hebden Bridge. The ticket price will include garden admission. Last year's tour was great fun: don't miss out in 2003.

Full details of all the Open Gardens and Studios, including a map, are available from the Festival Shop from June 7. You can also make your minibus tour bookings there in person or phone the Hotline on 01422 842684
