HEBDEN BRIDGE FRINGE: 29 JUNE - 8 JULY

Thursday, 24 May 2012

Hebden Bridge Fringe

The Hebden Bridge Fringe runs alongside the town’s annual Arts Festival, and features an eclectic mix of live music, comedy, new writing, comedy, dance, cabaret, live workshops and events. All Fringe “happenings” are less than a fiver or free!

The HebWeb is pleased to be able to publish the Fringe programme - see below - which includes learning to knit or crochet, Pakistani story telling, Burlesque Taster Class, Benidorm meets Shameless (drama), Dance Lab Workshops, Vintage Pop Choir, Bellydance Workshop, The Speed of Dating (comedy), Cabaret, Literary Quiz, poetry and prose, and finishing with a Bellydance Spectacular.

The Hebden Bridge Fringe programme should dispel any doubts about the town's funky label (HebWeb News).
