20 of our amazing young performers have had a brilliant afternoon working with the creative team behind Oldham Coliseum’s upcoming production of Macbeth!

They’ve been taking part in a photo and video shoot for the show’s promotion, alongside the Coliseum’s new Creative Director Nick Bagnall and two of the production’s leading actors.

And the location? Oldham’s iconic Liquid & Envy nightclub! What an incredible setting for what promises to be a bold and exciting production of Macbeth.

We loved being part of today and can’t wait to see the finished photos and films.

This is going to be a very special show in a very special venue. Get your tickets before it sells out!

It’s festival season in Oldham! 🎉

A huge congratulations to the brilliant team behind Dare to Create Festival 2026. What a fantastic few days of creativity, performance and community across the town.

We were really pleased to play our part by hosting some of the festival here at Oldham Theatre Workshop. There’s nothing we love more than seeing our spaces buzzing with artists, audiences and creative ideas.

And it’s been a busy few weeks for festivals at OTW. Just last week we were delighted to host part of Oldham’s Khushi Festival too, so it’s been wonderful to see our building playing its part in such a brilliant run of creative activity.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of Oldham’s growing cultural scene and to be able to offer our spaces to artists, festivals and organisations who are bringing exciting work to the town.

So congratulations to everyone involved in Dare to Create, and to all the artists, performers, volunteers, audiences and venues who have made it happen.

Festival season is looking good in Oldham. And we’re very excited to be part of it.
