A new campaign to encourage people to visit Brighouse this Christmas is being launched by the town’s BID – the organisation which represents all shops, venues and businesses in the town centre.
Aimed at promoting the huge number of discoveries to make, places to go and things to do, the message for the town’s residents and those further afield across West Yorkshire is that everyone will find more than they think when they visit Brighouse in the next few weeks.
It features the town’s shops, cafes, takeaways, restaurants, bars and more, and promotes the events lined up across the festive season:
- Christmas Market & Tree Switch-On: Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th November – we’ll switch on Christmas in Brighouse with lots going on across the town centre to get everyone in the festive spirit. Our street market will have gifts, crafts & food; many of our shops, venues and businesses will be open throughout the weekend; Santa will be welcoming children and families at the Overgate Furniture shop on Park Street; and, on Saturday, we’ll be turning on the Thornton Square Christmas Tree.
- Christmas Late Night Shopping: Thursday 10th December – giving everyone even more chances to shop in Brighouse & enjoy our town this Christmas as many of our shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and businesses will be open into the evening for a special Christmas Late Night Shopping event.
- Christmas Window Wonderland: Saturday 28th November to Monday 14th December – we’re adding some extra sparkle to Brighouse town centre with our Window Wonderland competition. Shops, venues and businesses have signed up to decorate their windows and we want to know which you think is the best from Saturday 28th November. There’ll be prizes not just for the most stunning windows, but for those who vote – so keep an eye out, pick the most spectacular and enjoy the added festive fun across Brighouse in the run up to Christmas.

Helen Holdsworth, project manager for Brighouse BID, said:
“We’ve had quite the year in Brighouse, and we really need the support of those nearby and further afield this Christmas which is why we’ve invested in this new campaign to showcase our amazing town.
“Our message is simple – whether you’re meeting friends, shopping for something special or simply fancy a change, Brighouse is the place to be this Christmas with independent shops packed with great finds, cafés perfect for a catch-up, great food worth making time for, and events and activities for everyone to enjoy.
“We look forward to seeing many visitors – familiar faces and new arrivals – in the weeks ahead.”
