Calling everyone from Tameside! This May the Den Festival is returning for four jam packed weekends!

The Royal Exchange’s touring theatre (the Den) is back in residence at Stalybridge Civic Hall and ready to welcome you. We’ve been working with a brilliant and passionate group of local Ambassadors and Champions to create a festival full of joy, surprises and celebrations! Expect music, workshops, shows, comedy, dance, drama, family mornings and much, much more. 

Our opening weekend features circus skills, an interactive pub quiz-cum-theatre show and lots of dance!
