As a socialist members’ co-operative we are nothing without our members. Literally. Our members own the club.

Being a member of The Trades gives you discounts on gig tickets and drinks at the bar. It also gives you the opportunity to help out with the running of the club and to help shape its future. Currently, there are more than 1600 members, from all over the world, and that number is growing each year. 

We are in it together, from campaigning to community activism to music. The Trades Club thrives because of its members, whether that’s the people on the committee, the door volunteers, or those who pop in and do a bit of carpentry, sewing or plumbing.

• Half-price membership: £12.50.
• Concessionary half-price membership (low wage, retired, unemployed): £5.

Member Benefits

There are many reasons to join the club. You’ll save lots of money for a start. Members get discounts on event tickets, usually £2 or £3 off the standard price. Drinks are up to 50p cheaper from the bar, too. 

You’ll receive a members email, which is also how we announce some of the really big shows. And you’ll be in touch with all the other Trades’ activities – guitar group, chess club, circus skills group, campaign meetings and more.

Above all, you’ll have a say in the running of the club. The members elect the committee, which operates in accordance with the Rules of Hebden Bridge Trades Club Cooperative
