Hepworth is a small village to the southeast of Holmfirth and southwest of Jackson Bridge in West Yorkshire, England. It is in the metropolitan borough of Kirkleesand the parish of Holme Valley.
Although it started as a fairly small hamlet it has grown considerably through the 1980s and 1990s with new housing and small businesses. It has been extensively used as one of the locations in the BBC's long-running comedy series Last of the Summer Wine. Much of which has centred on the village pub the 'Butchers Arms', which provides a central meeting place for the village residents.
Those wanting the country life and are thinking of moving to Hepworth will be pleased to know it has a range of events on a regular basis. They are mainly arranged by the Village Hall Committee or the local church.
Hepworth Feast is held every year on the last Monday of June. It commemorates the end of the Great Plague in Hepworth. Traditionally a pig was roasted for the feast but this no longer continues. During the afternoon a procession of villagers walk from Hepworth to Scholes and back, in a circular trip, accompanied by Hepworth Persimmon Homes Brass Band. The local school children are given a dinner after the procession and in the evening the children take part in races at the Recreation Ground. Prior to 2004 the feast had degenerated into an event to get drunk at, mostly by youths from surrounding villages. However since then the Hepworth Feast Committee have sought to make the event more family orientated. They have introduced stalls for children on the main street, including some more traditional Punch and Judy, coconut-shies and magicians acts. There is also an exhibition of historical photographs from Hepworth.
Hepworth Garden Trail is held every two years during early July. Selected gardens in the village are opened to the public. Those that can be viewed are marked on maps of the village. Many of the gardens listed feature plant stalls or sell refreshments.
Hepworth Garden Show is held annually on the first Saturday in September at the Village Hall. Fruit, vegetables and flowers are displayed and judged upstairs. Children’s exhibits, cookery and handy crafts are displayed and judged downstairs. After the show any exhibits left behind are auctioned off at the local Sports and Social Club.
