HD EIGHT is a community-led initiative from HD8 Life CIC, designed to celebrate and support the incredible makers, producers, and suppliers in HD postcode areas - from Brighouse to Holmfirth, Marsden to Clayton West - and to help you buy locally produced items more easily.

​​

Inspired by the Sussex Six, HD EIGHT is simple:

​

We invite hospitality and retail businesses to pledge to always offer eight locally sourced products - created, made, baked, brewed, or grown in an HD postcode.

​

You might be a café serving cakes from a village baker, a deli stocking cheese from a local dairy, a boutique selling handmade crafts from an HD maker, or a pub pouring beer from a Huddersfield brewery - HD EIGHT is about keeping it local.  

​
