Hebden Bridge

Located in Hebden Bridge, in the heart of Pennine Yorkshire, Hebden House provides group accommodation & conference and training facilities at competitive prices.

Hebden House is the residential wing of the Birchcliffe Centre and is situated on the hillside above the picturesque town of Hebden Bridge. Set in two acres of woodland, Hebden House offers a peaceful and secluded setting from which to run training courses, workshops, seminars, and retreats.

Hebden Bridge is surrounded by stunning countryside, and contains many interesting shops and attractions. In the heart of Calderdale, the town is a few minutes from Pennine moorlands and secluded shady valleys. It is noted for its Victorian 'up and down' houses of several storeys built flush against the hillside.

The Centre was formerly a Baptist Chapel and Sunday School, one of the largest and most magnificent of its time, which has been converted to offices, conference facilities and residential accommodation without losing its character.

Renamed Hebden House, the residential wing offers 58 beds in 15 en-suite rooms. The Centre is fully catered for by Laughing Gravy and a bed linen service is provided in the residential facilities. There is an additional Conference Area available in the Main Hall for 250+ people.

The Residential Wing comprises:

• Lounge/Training Room, a large room with a pleasant outlook onto a private patio garden
• Breakout Room, a small room adjoining the Training Room looking onto woodland. There is an additional breakout area to the side of the training room
• Bedrooms, there are 5 on the first floor, 11 on the second floor
• Disabled Persons Toilet on the same level as the lounge/training room
• Dining Room can seat approximately 60 people.

The bedrooms each have their own toilet, shower, four single beds, vanity unit and writing desk. On the second floor two of the beds are at a higher level in the roof space (see drawing) and enjoy extensive views over the town or hills. This upper level is accessible by a fixed ladder which is not suitable for the elderly or infirm, but provides an exciting and enjoyable space for others.
