WAINSGATE CHAPEL 

Wainsgate Chapel is a former Baptist chapel hidden away down a quiet track on a hillside just outside Hebden Bridge in the South Pennines of West Yorkshire. The historic Grade II listed building has a thriving international arts programme with regular concerts, dance performances, open studios, workshops and residencies, as well as other events including exhibitions, markets and heritage events.
