The Vale

In the foothills of the Peak District, The Vale is a former textile mill converted to a state-of-the-art venue for all kinds of creative happenings.

If it’s live performance you’re after, The Vale hosts a variety of music, theatre, dance, and cinema throughout the year. This space is also used by our resident Carnival arts organisations to develop new productions and artists as part of our Northern Carnival Centre for Excellence. Our mixed-use and specialist studios are also a hit with visual artists. All our spaces are available for hire and we would love to welcome you to our growing family of creatives that call The Vale home.

Meet Solar Bear, a stunning, hand‑painted sculpture created for this year’s Dartford Bear Hunt in support of Ellenor Hospice. He was brought to life right here at The Vale by talented young artist Jessie Bond, who first discovered us through our Creative Careers programme, and now volunteers with our team.

With support from ITRM Ltd, the project has connected Jessie with local groups and deepened her sense of community, something we’re proud to champion through our creative and wellbeing programmes.

“This opportunity has allowed me to meet the team behind the scenes of The Vale and see the impact they have on connecting local families in so many different ways. The Vale really is the heart of Mossley!”

Solar Bear will be on display across Dartford and Gravesend from 17 July to 13 September before being auctioned to raise funds for Ellenor hospice.
