Applications are also now open via the website for stalls for the Spring Artisan Market and 1940s Weekend. BID members - every business based within the town centre, are able to have one as part of their levy payment and all remaining stalls are then allocated based on submissions received.

Helen Holdsworth, project manager for Brighouse BID, said: “We’re excited to be able to present our events programme for 2023 and hope that people in Brighouse, across Calderdale, around Yorkshire and further afield put these dates in their diary so they can come and support our town.

“Over the past 12 months, more and more people have been discovering what we offer with an increase in footfall, and those who visit staying for longer and putting more money into our town’s economy.

“We hope this year’s events will prove similarly successful at making Brighouse a place people are excited to visit and proud to call home. We can’t wait to see you and guarantee a warm, friendly and vibrant welcome.”
