Following last year’s successful trial sheep show, we are testing the waters for a larger Agricultural Show on the site on Sunday 18th June.

We are excited about partnering with the organisers and helping to bring the show back to Tod after a number of years away from the town.

Todmorden is a diverse town and the farming community is often a forgotten group. The show is a great place to meet and understand farming, where our food comes from and the culture of the industry.

At this year’s show there are a number of entertaining attractions including:

  • Jacaranda petting farm
  • Alpacas
  • HAPPA (Bringing a Shetland Pony)
  • Fun Dog show
  • Worth Valley Ferret Rescue (Ferret Agility Course)
  • Sheep show
  • Vintage Tractors
  • and more…

It’s a fun day with an educational and heritage twist.

Numbers are limited to a maximum of 500 people on site so we recommend getting here early to bag a parking spot.

Please see the organiser’s website for full details times, tickets and events timetable https://todshow.org.uk/

Riverside Centre | Outdoor Activity Centre in Walsden, Todmorden

Welcome to The Riverside Centre

We are located on the outskirts of Todmorden at the gateway to the Calder Valley, in West Yorkshire. But many locals will tell you we breathe Lancashire air!

Just 200 meters from the border we currently offer facilities for groups such as scouts and schools. And our direct access to the adjacent Rochdale canal provides opportunities for Kayaking and other water-based activities.

During recent times we have provided a hub for the annual boundary walk, Todmorden Agricultural Show, a charity dog show and an ‘ultra’ running base.

Following news received in late April 2025 that our Town Deal funding had been withdrawn, this has obviously had a devastating impact on our plans for development. Please bear with us whilst we take some time to consider our options. In the meantime, you can find more details about the situation on our Latest News Page.

A New Era & New Opportunities

We are a facility about to undergo some amazing changes and want to share that with you on this website.

As you will discover we have a transformational opportunity to provide many more facilities and activities for our wider and diverse community in the next few years.

Like most organisations, social enterprises and businesses we were restricted in our growth potential by COVID and its legacy of economic and social challenges.

We survived these challenges and used the period to reassess the potential for post-pandemic activities and long-term recovery opportunities for the community.

Our funding bid successes will now see us begin the transformation in 2024/25.
