A Potted Hippodrome History
Visiting the Theatre
The Tour of Todmorden
The Hippodrome Theatre is owned and run by Todmorden Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (Or T.A.O.D.S. for short!) T.A.O.D.S. is a registered charity and volunteer led community group. Together our volunteers have run the Hippodrome for over 50 years, securing the future of this wonderful building when
so many towns have lost
theirs. We think it's remarkable that a small town nestling in the heart of the Pennines, surrounded by hills and a fair distance from any big towns or cities still has it's Edwardian Theatre with almost 500 seats that was built to entertain the thousands of mill workers that lived in Todmorden. The mills may well be gone but the Hippodrome still stands and has benefited from many thousands of pounds on refurbishment work in recent years. It's a legacy for all the volunteers that have dedicated millions of hours of their time to this building over the years along with the generosity and support of many local people and organisations.
