Welcome to Leigh, Atherton & Tyldesley where we've been working with local communities since 2019
We have been working with local communities since 2019 to celebrate and build arts and culture in, for, and by Leigh, Atherton, and Tyldesley.
In our second residency in the area we brought the Den, our mobile theatre, to Fred Longworth High School in August 2025. Bringing to life a community arts festival programmed with our local Ambassadors. Including PIGEON, a new play commissioned by our local Ambassadors, and produced in association with THICKSKIN. We now turn to creating legacy projects which aim to build locally owned creative programmes in the area.
Previously:
In 2021 a group of residents from across Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley worked with the Royal Exchange to create a 2-week festival of arts, crafts and culture THE DEN IN LEIGH.
Together with local communities, we’ve since commissioned theatre, produced creative workshops, and put on A PLAY IN A DAY!
