Ten days of open buildings, exhibitions, talks, walks and local stories across the Holme Valley.
11-20 September 2026
This year’s theme, Hearth & Holme, explores the idea of home in its widest sense, the houses, mills, farms, churches, workshops, streets, stories and gathering places that have shaped life in the valley.
Our Aim
Holme Valley Heritage Week is brought to you by the Holme Valley Tourism Partnership, a collaboration between the Parish Council, Holmfirth Forward, Holmfirth Conservation Group and Holmfirth Library. It is all about celebrating the unique history and character of our valley. Running from 11th to 20th September 2026 and with a central theme of ‘Hearth & Holme’, the programme of attractions will feature open buildings, exhibitions, talks and events that highlight our rich local heritage and encourage community involvement.
Heritage
Heritage is about our identity.
How the Holme Valley came to be as it is now. This is more than history, this is about why we are here and why it matters today.
Why we are proud of our Holme Valley!
