Looking for stylish accommodation near Denby Dale? Badgen Hall is just 3 miles from the village of Denby Dale - world famous as the 'Pie Village', a name acquired from the tradition of baking record-breaking huge pies.
It's a tradition that dates back to 1788, when a pie was baked and shared by the villagers to celebrate the return to health of King George III. There have been a further 9 pies, baked at irregular intervals and for various events from celebrating the repeal of the Corn Laws to raising funds for Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. The Millennium Pie of 2000 was 12 meters long and weighed 12 tonnes. Visitors can view the dish for the 1964 pie, which was baked to raise funds for a village hall, outside the resulting Pie Hall on Wakefield Road. The dish, 18ft x 6ft, is now a flower planter.
