TradeSpace

TradesSpace is the the ground floor community rooms in the Local-Labour branch owned Trades Building. it was meant for dancing, drinking and recreation.

These are now finally back in use in 2025 as the buildinf celebrates 100 years, after continuing efforts by the Building Management Commitee. The Trades Club was built in Hebden Bridge, then a thriving centre for the cotton industry, in 1923. It was funded by six local trades unions, who levied a one penny contribution from each of their members per week. The factories closed as the cotton industr

y declined, and the Trades Club closed its doors. The local Labour Party bought the building, and The Trades was reborn. Since 1982, the top floor has been the thriving Trades Social Club, one of the best music venues in the country, and the ground floor became an invaluable community and arts centre. But the Boxing Day floods of 2016 caused terrible damage to the ground floor, rendering it unusable. The Building Management Committee are dedicated to raising the funds to give the ground floor of the Trades a new life. We're creating TradeSpace - a modern, versatile community, arts and events space, that will also provide essential disabled access to the delights of the award-winning music venue upstairs. And we need your help. We need to raise at least £150,000 pounds to make these plans a reality. You can donate via PayPal using the email address [email protected].

Brilliant news. The building fully occupied again for the first time in nearly 10 years. Bravo to all involved from our side and NPBs, an epic undertaking!

Fancy new signage for our new tenants. Looking even better inside.

Really looking forward to seeing another community focused organisation operating out of this historic 100 year old building.

By the people, for the people.
