Hosting the festival last year was like nothing we have ever done before. It turned out to be an incredibly successful week, with sell out shows and new work in a town without a theatre. How could we not do it all again?! So, we will once again be taking over venues in Oldham with work made by, with and for the people of Oldham for a celebration of creativity right here, in our home town...

​

We have artists joining us to showcase their work, with theatre, dance, comedy, music, poetry and more... this is your chance to see and be a part of all of the inspiring work happening locally!

​

5 full days, 4 incredible venues, and tickets are now on sale!
