Main Street

Haworth Main Street is a steep narrow road, paved with traditional stone setts and lined with an interesting mix of independent shops, pubs, tearooms and restaurants. As is to be expected in any tourist destination there is the usual supply of souvenir shops, but also some very appealing speciality shops selling quality items such as organic foods, cheeses, flowers, old fashioned sweets, homeware, traditional toiletries, fair-trade goods and antiquarian books. The plentiful supply of pubs, cafes, restaurants and guest houses to suit every budget make Main Street an ideal refreshment stop or overnight base.

The Haworth community, including the Traders Association work together to create a year-round calendar of events, with Main Street at the centre. Highlights include the 1940’s weekend in May, 1960’s weekend in June and the Christmas festival. Starting in late November when the spirit of Christmas arrives in the village in the form of the Scroggling the Holly ceremony. The following five weekends are filled with traditional festive carol singing, music and cheer.
