A Taste of Todmorden: Incredible Edible Tour & Market Feast

Taste your way around Todmorden on this brand-new walking tour!

Incredible Edible Todmorden have teamed up with Todmorden Markets to explore the growing spaces that changed how the world thinks about local food. Along the way, you’ll see why food - growing it, cooking it, sharing it - matters so deeply to people in this thriving market town.

Your experience begins in true Todmorden style: with proper coffee and cake at the famous Todmorden Market Coffee Bar. Meet your guides, settle in, and soak up the friendly bustle of one of Calderdale’s most cherished markets.

From there, the Incredible Edible team will lead you on a tour around their iconic growing sites. You’ll discover how a small group of locals turned unloved bits of public space into thriving edible landscapes—and sparked a worldwide network of communities doing the same. Hear how the project began, why Todmorden remains its flagship example, and how growing food in public places can change the way we live, shop, and connect with one another.

After your walk, you’ll head back to Todmorden Market for a relaxed late lunch. Here, the traders will treat you to a generous spread of dishes made with love, showcasing the flavours, produce, and personalities that make the market such a cornerstone of the town.

Just like the Taste of Halifax Market tours, this experience is all about meeting the people behind the food - hearing their stories, discovering their craft, and sampling the delicious things they create every day.

• Visitors wanting to discover Todmorden’s unique character
• Food lovers looking for a one‑of‑a‑kind culinary experience
• Anyone interested in community growing, sustainability, or simply great market food
