IOU Hebden Bridge Vegetarian Hostel, run by national arts organisation IOU Creation Centre, offers contemporary, comfortable & affordable accomodation in the heart of this beautiful town. We are proud to be the first fully vegetarian hostel in West Yorkshire.

Hebden Bridge is famous for its literary connections, LGBTQ community, its many pubs, restaurants, coffee houses, independent shops and cinema, canal, marina and not forgetting the iconic Trades Club. Visit the independent shops in Halifax Piece Hall, an 18th Century former Cloth Hall and take a look at the varied arts programme on offer in the adjoining Square Chapel Arts Centre, Cinema, Theatre and Cafe Bar.
