Alternative Christmas Day

This year Christmas is came early to Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd on the 25th June. Beow are a very small sample of of photos of the activities of the day. More photos in this BBC news report

The Boxing Day floods washed away the festivities for thousands so, as the residents felt they deserved a party, wanted to show the area was back open for business and wanted to show thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who mucked in to help in the aftermath, the parish of Hebden Royd is having an alternative Christmas Day six months later.
