The festival is held in Todmorden, along the valley from Hebden Bridge:

Venues

The two Bals, the Sunday session and some workshops (see details and timetable) will be held at the fabulous Todmorden Town Hall OL14 5AQ which had its acoustics vastly improved with the addition of soft panels. 

The Festival is also very happy to use a new community venue at the heart of Todmorden centre and a stone throw from the Town Hall: Tod College now run by a community group which is working to create a space/hub for the benefit of the people of Todmorden and community groups.
