Leaving Haworth for university halls and coming home
Two dates matter: September, when halls open, and June or July, when tenancies end. Halls give arrival slots and there is often a queue of cars at the door, so the van is booked to arrive in your slot rather than hours early. Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield are all easy same-day moves from the Worth Valley. For a university further away, such as Newcastle, Manchester or Edinburgh, one van takes the load directly while the student travels by car or train.
Keighley College is about four miles away by road, and the secondary schools are in Keighley and Cullingworth, so study up to 18 can usually be done from home. The move comes when they leave for university, and again each summer if they come home. Emptying a shared house into a village bedroom is a small load, and the price reflects a room's worth of belongings.
Getting a Haworth student packed for halls
- Bags and boxes should be packed and sealed, with a name on each in case of a busy hall entrance
- From a cottage on the setted streets the van waits in a council car park, so pack into bags and boxes that are easy to carry that far
- Check your hall's arrival time and parking arrangements before booking the van
- Desks, chairs and existing flat-pack or bed frames can be dismantled and rebuilt
- Coming home to the top floor of a Haworth cottage, say how steep the stair is so the bed frame is planned for
- Runs to and from your own self-storage unit over the summer can be booked

What a Haworth student move costs
The price is based on the distance and the amount of belongings, and it is fixed before setting off. A room's worth of bags and boxes is priced as a small move, not a house. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Student Removals from Haworth: your questions
Can you bring my things home to Haworth at the end of the year?
Yes. Send the shared-house or hall address, the date the tenancy ends and a rough list, and say if it is going up to the top floor of a cottage, and a price for the run home comes back first.
Can you move me into halls in September?
Yes. Book early and send the arrival slot, so the van reaches the hall at your time rather than joining the queue hours early.
Can you store my things over the summer?
We have no storage of our own, but we can run your things to and from your own self-storage unit.
How far ahead should I book for the September move?
As soon as the hall gives you an arrival slot. Halls open over a few weekends in September, so send the date, the slot and the hall address and the fixed price is agreed then.
