The local area
Slaithwaite (pronounced “Slawit” by locals) is a charming village in the Colne Valley, part of the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire. Just five miles southwest of Huddersfield, it offers a vibrant mix of tradition and creativity, making it a desirable place to live and do business.
The village is known for its scenic canal-side setting, independent shops, and lively café culture. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs through the heart of Slaithwaite, adding to its appeal as a destination for walkers, cyclists, and families. The iconic Moonraking Festival, held every two years, brings the whole village to life with lanterns, music, and street performances, celebrating local heritage and community spirit.
Slaithwaite is also home to several popular eateries and artisan producers. Highlights include The Handmade Bakery—a worker cooperative offering freshly baked sourdough and café delights—and Empire House, a shared workspace and social hub supporting local entrepreneurs. Popular restaurants like Anello, Nom Bruch and Bar, and Rumpus Burger Bar have also helped put Slaithwaite on the foodie map.
With a growing number of creative businesses, a thriving arts scene, and access to stunning countryside walks, Slaithwaite strikes a perfect balance between rural charm and modern living.
