What's on in Pateley Bridge

There’s always something going on in Pateley Bridge; with any active rural community comes a calendar of activity and celebration and Nidderdale is no different.

The annual Nidderdale Show in September can trace its roots back to 1319, and is the highlight of the Agricultural Show calendar, filling the enormous show field from end to end.  The whole town comes together for this celebration of rural life that showcases local skills, produce and livestock.

The recent growth in cinema facilities in the rural communities has meant the village halls in Pateley Bridge and Darley regularly show films to sell out audiences.  Experience a local cinema, run by and for the community, including a bar and considerably more character & atmosphere than your local multiscreen.
The Pateley Playhouse has a deservedly glowing reputation for its immersive productions of both classic and original works in their 72-seat theatre.  With typically three productions a year and guest performances, keep an eye out for unique theatre experiences in this historic setting.
