Huddersfield

Combine outstanding architectural heritage with a trend for creativity and the arts, and you'll understand why Huddersfield is a popular visitor location.  Influenced by its central university and diverse mix of cultures, this vibrant town must be one of the UK's best kept secrets. 

Throughout the year, the town is alive with festivals and events, including the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the Huddersfield Food & Drink Festival, the Caribbean Carnival and Mela.  All take place in and around the incredible 1,660 listed buildings including the Railway Station - described as 'a stately home for trains'.

But bizarrely, stand anywhere in the town centre and a countryside view is just a stone's throw away - be it rolling hills, dry stone walls or Victoria Tower which looks over the town from nearby Castle Hill. 

Home to museums, theatres, art galleries and the famous Galpharm Stadium - a venue for football and rugby with its pioneering contemporary design; and offering an eclectic mix of contemporary bars, nightclubs, traditional real ale pubs, exotic cuisine and good old fish and chips,  you'll feel at home in Huddersfield, whatever your style.
