Welcome to Tameside where we are currently beginning our second residency of Local Exchange in the area.

We have been working with local communities since 2018 to celebrate and build arts and culture in, for, and by Tameside.

Now, we are looking forward to our second community festival in the area, when the Royal Exchange’s pop-up theatre, the Den, returns to Stalybridge in 2025.

Get involved!

We are seeking a new group of Ambassadors, Champions, community groups and organisations to collaborate with, working together to bring exciting arts projects to life!

  • Ambassadors: Meet monthly to set the agenda for the work we will do in the area, co-create a two-week festival in the Den and support their local community to get involved.
  • Champions: Meet quarterly to add their voice to the work we will do in the area, support the delivery of a two-week festival in the Den and support their local community to get involved.
  • Organisations: Opportunity to collaborate on creative projects, share skills, and help develop our participant and audience base.

If you’re interested in becoming an Ambassador or Champion, fill out this form.
