Oldham Coliseum

Lovers of the Coliseum came together this week to celebrate the campaign's progress.

Artists and activists have celebrated a milestone in the Save the Oldham Coliseum campaign. Campaigners confirmed talks to restore the 'cultural gem of Oldham' - the historic venue on Fairbottom Street - were 'very much back on the table' after long discussions following the venue’s closure last year.

“We’re not in a position to make any formal announcements at this point - there is still work to do. But what I can say is that Fairbottom Street is very much back on the table as a possible future home of theatre in Oldham. Watch this space.” And several other prominent actors including Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Emma Thompson and Christopher Eccleston have all voiced their support for the venue.
