Set in the heart of the Nene Valley, Rushden town centre offers a wealth of independent businesses as well as well-known high street brands within an attractive late Victorian/ Edwardian setting, an enduring reminder of Rushden’s rise to prominence as a ‘boot and shoe’ town. Visit the Rushden Transport Museum and Railway which is housed in the Victorian Midland Railway Station. Opened to passengers in 1894, the four station rooms now contain our unique collection of transport related items from the local area.

Rushden Museum is also well worth a visit with various exhibitions of the town’s social history on display. Rushden Lakes offers an exciting new dimension with 30 acres of high quality shopping, restaurants and a 12-screen cinema.
