Culture belongs to us all. We believe everyone should be able to create, participate and access activities that interest them. We are here to make that happen in Rochdale.

We want to give cultural and creative power to you, so you can make sure we live up to our promises:

  • Help decide how our funding is spent

  • Set up your own arts and cultural
    activities locally

  • Be given money to make them happen

  • Work alongside music producers, choreographers, chefs and street artists

  • Get free tickets to performances and art shows

  • Take advantage of paid opportunities

Our Partners

The Culture Co-op is built on partnership. Our members are able to call on a range of experts, and residents will benefit from events celebrating creativity in all its forms.
