Taking place between Thursday 7 August and Sunday 11 August 2025.

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.

The first week of the festival sees 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!
