On any given Bank Holiday, there is a shortage of accommodation in Hebden Bridge, especially since the Town Hall started to facilitate weddings and civil partnerships. However, this year we have taken a number of countermeasures to ensure that all those music lovers who want to attend, can do so.

One of those is arranging a dedicated transport service from outside the Travelodge in central Halifax, to the Hebden Bridge Blues Festival Main Stage, before leaving Hebden on the return leg at 0145, after the Paddy Maguire Midnight Jam Sessions.

This will allow a wide array of hotels and apartments to be used in Halifax, with a safe and secure, dedicated Blues Coach to whisk you along the 20 minute (8 mile) journey.

The bus will then leave Halifax at the following midday, to ensure you miss none of the action!

It is strongly advisable to book your seats on the tickets page as soon as you book your accommodation as places will be strictly limited and are likely to be in high demand.

The departure times will be as follows:

Friday night / Saturday morning from Hebden Bridge to Travelodge Halifax, departing at 0145

Saturday daytime from Travelodge Halifax to Hebden Bridge, departing at 1200

Saturday night / Sunday morning from Hebden Bridge to Travelodge Halifax, departing at 0145

Sunday daytime from Travelodge Halifax to Hebden Bridge, departing at 1200

Sunday night / Monday morning from Hebden Bridge to Travelodge Halifax, departing at 0145
