This August, the Royal Exchange Theatre’s mobile theatre space, the Den, returns to Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley for two jam-packed weeks at Fred Longworth High School.
We’ve been working with a brilliant and passionate group of local Ambassadors and Champions to create a festival full of fun, creativity and local stories! Expect music, workshops, shows, comedy, drama, family activities and much, much more.
Week 1: Thursday 7 – Sunday 10 August
The first week of the festival saw us kick off in style with a residency from the Snug featuring local music artists, an interactive cabaret show called BIG STRONG MAN and a family show about a shipwrecked princess. Plus we have plenty of workshops, including the start of the Raise Your Voice project where you can help write a new anthem for the area!

Week 2: Thursday 14 – Sunday 17 August
The second week included getting sporty with LALA Arts, the premiere of new show Pigeon, featuring a fantastic professional and community cast, before we conclude with Stories of Us (a play made all in one day!) and our Local Exchange Festival choir perform the new anthem for the area.
