Happy Valley and Riot Women Tour for Small Groups

Step into the gritty, brilliant world of Sally Wainwright’s Happy Valley and Riot Women on this immersive, small-group filming location tour of Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall. Set in the heart of the breathtaking Calder Valley, this 2 ½ hour guided walk takes you deep into the landscapes, streets and storylines that brought these iconic dramas to life.

With a maximum of just 8 people, this tour offers an intimate, in-depth experience of the places where Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire, battled crime, protected her family and fought for her community – and where the women of Riot Women formed powerful bonds and uncovered shocking secrets.

Your journey begins at Hebden Bridge railway station, seen in series three of Happy Valley. From there, you’ll pass the legendary Trades Club, wander through independent shops and visit the spot where Sarah Lancashire left gifts for the cast and crew as filming came to an emotional end.

You’ll see Clare and Neil’s house, walk along Bridgegate, where Catherine makes her chilling confession, and visit cafés, mills and alleyways used throughout all three series. Stand outside Catherine’s house, view the window Tommy smashed, the conservatory where she slept, and the powerful location of their final showdown. You’ll also discover where Tommy dumped the Knezevic’s car and where key confrontations and emotional moments unfolded.

You’ll explore multiple Riot Women filming locations including the canal towpath, The Albert / Duke of Wellington, Inez’s bar, the old packhorse bridge, Stubbing Wharf, Crown Street, Calder Holmes Park, and the locations of rehearsals, gigs, confrontations and confessions across the series.

Along the way, your expert local guide will share behind-the-scenes stories, insider facts, and fascinating insights into the cast, filming process and the real town behind the screen drama.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a first-time visitor, this is your chance to experience the raw energy, beauty and emotion of Sally Wainwright’s Hebden Bridge — on foot, up close, and in unforgettable detail.
