Oldham Coliseum is set to re-open its doors a year from now for its Christmas 2025 Pantomime after the great work done by our Labour-led Council and other local organisations to save it at its historic site on Fairbottom Street.
There is a lot of work still to be done to transform this community venue but Oldham Coliseum has a bright future ahead. We want to put in the hands of local people through the co-operative model of ownership to secure the theatre’s great heritage for the long-term, fulfilling my local priority of community ownership that I set out at the election.
Labour in power locally, regionally and nationally are delivering for our creative and cultural sectors while safeguarding community venues: from saving the Oldham Coliseum, to restoring the Old Oldham Library, to legislating for new tax relief for British films.
